Femi gbajabiamila vows to sue cupp for defamation
Femi Gbajabiamila, the Speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives, has threatened to sue the Progressives Congress (CUPP) for defamation over allegations made against him.
According to reports, CUPP had accused Gbajabiamila of being involved in a plot to impeach the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari. The party also alleged that Gbajabiamila was working with some opposition parties to destabilize the government.
Gbajabiamila has denied the allegations, describing them as "baseless" and "false". He has vowed to take legal action against CUPP for defamation, saying that the party's actions are an attempt to tarnish his reputation.
In a statement, Gbajabiamila's spokesperson, Lanre Lasisi, said: "The Speaker is not involved in any plot to impeach the President. He is a loyal member of the APC and has always worked in the best interest of the party and the country. The allegations made by CUPP are baseless and false, and the Speaker will not hesitate to take legal action against the party for defamation."
Gbajabiamila's threat to sue CUPP comes amid a growing political crisis in Nigeria, with the opposition parties accusing the ruling APC of attempting to undermine the country's democracy. The Speaker's decision to take legal action against CUPP is seen as a move to defend his reputation and the reputation of the APC.
It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but it is clear that the political tensions in Nigeria are escalating, and the country is bracing for a potentially volatile period ahead.
