In reaction, the BCO has sued Atiku for defamation but The Nation reports that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party through his lawyers filed a counter-claim in which he queried Buhari’s competence and sought to compel the President to pay him damages in the sum of N200 billion.

Atiku blamed the president for rising insecurity in the country and lopsided appointments.

In a fresh motion by the plaintiffs, through their lawyer, Abdulrazaq Ahmed, they argued that Atiku’s counter-claim, in which “he challenged Buhari’s capacity and performance in office as the President could only be sustained in a separate suit.”

They said Atiku ought to provide documentary evidence and proof to substantiate the false and defamatory claims made against Buhari and his family, “rather than leaving the substance to tackle the trash with a motion seeking to address an entirely different matter from the substantive suit.

“The defendant/counter-claimers claims against the 1st plaintiff (Buhari) based or on the question of the 1st plaintiff’s capacity and or performance in the office as Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria can only be sustained in a separate suit or proceeding filed by the defendant against the 1st plaintiff.”

The plaintiffs are seeking damages against Atiku to the tune of N40 million.

Justice Binta Mohammed adjourned further proceedings till April 8 this year.

The president made the statement when he received the leadership of organized labour which came to felicitate with him on his electoral victory at State House, Abuja, on Thursday, March 7, The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
