Former Imo State Governor, Chief Achike Udenwa, has slammed a lawsuit against a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, over alleged defamatory remarks made against him.
Okonkwo had, in an interview on Channels TV on June 8, 2026,
allegedly linked the former governor to alleged extortion of aspirants seeking
elective positions under the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC.
He said, “This is why the NDC released a statement that it
is only the South East caucus of the party that was involved in such problems.
“Onyema Ugochukwu, Achike Udenwa, Peter Obi and other
leaders of the South East caucus were busy extorting the South East aspirants”.
Responding, Udenwa’s legal counsel, Soronnadi A. Njoku, SAN,
demanded a retraction, a public apology and N5 billion in damages.
The NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi had also dragged
the actor-turned politician to court over the same allegation.
