The National Vice Chairman, (South West) of the Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi, has issued a pre-action demand letter to the refers to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, demanding a public retraction, apology and ₦50 billion in compensation over an alleged defamatory statement made during a podcast interview.
The demand, was contained in a letter dated July 3, 2026, and issued by Neplus Ultra Attorneys and signed by Anderson U. Asemota, Peter O. Asimegbe and Stanley C. Eziefulle on behalf of Arabambi.
According to the letter, the legal action stems from comments allegedly made by Obi during an interview, where he was said to have stated that Arabambi “does not have an address.”
Arabambi’s legal team argued that the statement was false, malicious and defamatory, contending that it portrayed their client as a faceless individual, lacking legitimacy, credibility and standing in public life.
