According to Obi, the court case became necessary after Okonkwo indicated that he possessed additional damaging information which he intended to disclose in the future.
Former Anambra State governor and presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has defended his decision to sue his former ally and campaign spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, saying he is eager for the actor-turned-politician to present all allegations against him in open court.
Obi made the remarks during a recent podcast interview with broadcaster Rufai Oseni, days after his legal team instituted a defamation action against Okonkwo over a series of corruption allegations against the former governor.
According to Obi, the court case became necessary after Okonkwo indicated that he possessed additional damaging information which he intended to disclose in the future.
“The issue of taking Kenneth Okonkwo to court wouldn’t have arisen if he had stopped at those allegations. But he claimed he still has more he would expose about me in the future,” Obi said.
