Former Labour Party presidential campaign spokesman Kenneth Okonkwo has challenged Peter Obi to publicly disclose any incriminating information he may have against him, as tensions between the former political allies continue to escalate.
Okonkwo made the remarks while reacting to a defamation suit reportedly filed against him by the former Labour Party presidential candidate.
The latest development has drawn fresh attention to the growing disagreement between the two men, who once worked closely during the 2023 presidential election campaign.
Kenneth Okonkwo Challenges Peter Obi Amid Growing Legal Dispute
According to Okonkwo, if Peter Obi possesses any damaging information about him, it should be made public for Nigerians to see rather than being kept private.
He argued that public figures should be open to scrutiny and accountable to the people they seek to serve.
The dispute stems from allegations made by Okonkwo concerning the conduct of party affairs and certain financial claims. Peter Obi has strongly denied the accusations, reportedly describing them as false, defamatory, and damaging to his reputation.
Despite the legal action, Kenneth Okonkwo maintained that he stands by his statements and is prepared to defend them. He also challenged Peter Obi to reveal any information that could implicate him in wrongdoing if such evidence exists.
The controversy has sparked reactions among political observers and supporters, with many closely monitoring the unfolding dispute. Given the political profiles of both men, the disagreement is expected to remain a subject of public discussion in the coming weeks.
Further details of the incident were contained in a report by Daily Post.
As the legal battle develops, attention will likely remain on the next moves by both Kenneth Okonkwo and Peter Obi, especially as Nigeria’s political landscape gradually shifts toward conversations surrounding the 2027 general elections.
