Akpabio Threatens Legal Action Over Defamatory Remarks

Nigerian Senator Godswill Akpabio is threatening to sue Lagos State PDP chieftain Dr. Adetokunbo Pears for allegedly making defamatory statements against him during a live broadcast.

Akpabio's legal team has demanded a public apology and retraction within three days, citing false and malicious remarks aimed at damaging his reputation. Pears had accused Akpabio of corruption and manipulation, prompting the legal action.

The senator's team described the comments as false and offensive, portraying Akpabio as a corrupt politician and manipulator. Akpabio insists the allegations are baseless and has taken a strong stance against the defamation.
