The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 general elections, Atiku Abubakar, has demanded N500m and a written apology from an aide to President BUHARI on social media, Lauretta Onochie, for spreading what he called lies capable of damaging his reputation.

In a letter addressed to Onochie and signed by Atiku’s lawyer, Mike Ozekhome, the former Vice-President took issues with Onochie’s post on Twitter which states, ‘Atiku on UAE watch list- Security Sources.

Atiku said he was never on any watch list and challenged Onochie to prove her allegation.

He said he would sue Onochie for 2 billion naira and cyber bullying if she fails to meet his demands.

President MUHAMMADU BUHARI has returned to Abuja after a 10-day private visit to the UK.

 The President’s aircraft landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 6.24 pm yesterday.

 In a statement on the arrival of the President, FEMI ADESINA, his spokesman, said some reckless online media and irresponsible political opposition and individuals, had gone on overdrive since the president left the country on April 25, insinuating that he was going for hospitalization, and would not return after 10 days as stated.

 President BUHARI was believed to have taken a vacation after his re-election campaign, although the classification of his trip as private by his media team led to suggestions that he took a medical leave.
