Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Nollywood actor, has released what he claims is evidence to support his bribery allegations against Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Earlier this week, Okonkwo alleged that Obi and other NDC leaders in the South East collected N10 million from House of Representatives aspirants and N20 million from senatorial aspirants during party primaries.
He said one aspirant, Obunike Ohaegbu, disclosed the payments to him and even presented a receipt.Obi’s legal team has since filed a lawsuit in response to the allegations.
In a post on X Wednesday morning, Okonkwo shared screenshots of alleged WhatsApp chats with Ohaegbu, claiming they show Obi’s involvement in the financial demands.
“Obunike Ohaegbu, when I questioned him to prove that Peter Obi was responsible for demanding the N10m from him and other HOR aspirants and N20m from the Senate aspirants, he made it clear that when he confronted the Party on who authorised the payment, the party named Peter Obi and the caucus leaders who were assembled by Peter Obi,” Okonkwo wrote.
The controversy adds to the growing tension between Obi and Okonkwo, who has repeatedly criticized the NDC’s internal processes.
