Human Rights activist, Mr Segun Awosanya, has dismissed the demand for an apology and N3 billion in damages from him by a member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, over some of his tweets. Jibrin said that the allegations were untrue, unfounded and meant to tarnish his image. “Your approach therefore smacks of utter bad faith; you made these allegations without recourse to their veracity or our client’s reputation. “If you would recall, Mr Jibrin raised the alarm of budget padding in the National Assembly. He therefore described the lawmaker’s N3 billion suit as an empty threat and urged him not to wait for the 14 days ultimatum before commencing his legal action.
