“War Of Words: Governor Sule Threatens Legal Firestorm Over ‘False’ Uni Mkar Claims!”

The Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Vice Chancellor of the University of Mkar, Gboko, Professor Zacharys Anger Gundu, demanding an immediate retraction of what he described as damaging and unfounded allegations.

According to iReporter Online, the allegations made by Prof. Gundu accused Governor Sule of allegedly fueling insecurity in Benue State.

Governor Sule, through a letter dated July 22, 2025, and issued by his legal representative, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Dr. Ahmed Raji, expressed strong displeasure over the claims made by the VC during an appearance on News Central Television’s Town Hall Programme.

The governor, according to iReporter Online, views the statements as not only malicious but severely injurious to his hard-earned reputation and character.

Prof. Gundu had alleged on-air that both past and present Nasarawa State administrations were complicit in harboring and empowering violent groups, referring to them as “international hunters” — a term he suggested was being used to conceal their true identity and intentions.

He claimed Governor Sule was offering refuge to aggressors, even to the extent of allocating land to them.

Governor Sule has, however, challenged the VC to either present credible evidence to support his serious accusations or tender a public apology within seven days.

Failure to do so, the letter warns, would result in legal action for defamation and the pursuit of exemplary damages in court.

According to iReporter Online, the governor’s legal team emphasized that the gravity of the defamation was far-reaching and that a mere denial would not suffice.

The retraction must be publicly issued in no fewer than five national newspapers to begin repairing the damage done.

In conclusion, Governor Sule made it clear that while he remains committed to fostering peace and stability in the region, he would not tolerate deliberate attempts to malign his administration with baseless allegations.
