National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu is very angry with the Chairperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Edo State Chapter, Anthony Aziegbemi for accusing the Federal Government of planning to rig the upcoming Edo Governorship Election, using him and the Department of State Service (DSS).

Ribadu in a letter by his lawyers, Charles Musa & Co demanded for immediate retraction.

The letter reads: “We write on behalf of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, National Security Adviser (NSA) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (our Client), in response to your press statement titled “Edo 2024: presidency’s move to interfere, manipulate guber poll using DSS, NSA uncovered.”

“The publication falsely alleges, inter alia, that, “$2 million was ordered to be released to the APC candidate by the NSA to buy votes and bribe security agencies.”

“As a renowned career police officer and pioneer Executive Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), our Client has consistently demonstrated integrity and a commitment to fighting corruption.”

“It is inconceivable that he would be involved in such odious acts.”

“Given the extensive damage your false and baseless allegations have caused our client, we demand a written apology to our Client and a full retraction of the publication in its entirety.”

“We also demand a publication of the retraction in a full-page advertorial in at least five nationwide newspapers; 10 reputable and well-read online news sites; seven national and international television stations, and 10 radio channels with national and international reach.”

“Take notice that if our demands are not met within seven days, we shall proceed with our Client’s further instructions, including taking legal action to enforce his rights.”
