The National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, has demanded a retraction of the election rigging allegation made against him by the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Edo, Anthony Aziegbemi.

Mr Aziegbemi had, in a statement on September 14, accused the federal government of planning to rig the governorship election in Edo using Mr Ribadu and the State Security Service.

He claimed that Mr Ribadu had released $2 million to the APC governorship candidate in the election as part of the plot.

In reaction to the allegation, Mr Ribadu’s lawyers, Charles Musa & Co, described the allegation as “totally false” and demanded immediate retraction.

“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,” the letter said.

The lawyers said the malicious and libellous statement had brought their client into public disdain and odium.

According to the letter, the portrayal of Mr Ribadu as a corruption enabler and his office as an appendage of a political party willing to cause chaos in Edo is entirely false and damaging to his reputation.

“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,” the letter said.

The lawyers also demanded payment of N10 billion as damages for reputational and other injuries.

“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,” they added.
