Henry Okoye, one of the brothers of the defunct music duo, P-Square, has said that their late mother Josephine Okoye, did not want Jude Okoye to manage the musicians.
In an interview with social commentator Jos Connection at the Okoye family residence in Plateau State on Friday, Henry said he was P-Square’s sponsor when the duo – Peter and Paul – did not find anyone to sponsor their music and that Jude was not involved at the time.
“When they started music, they were looking for sponsors. They didn’t see any. When I started sponsoring them, Jude was not there. When Benson & Hedges came to Jos looking for artistes, it was me that took them to the stadium for a performance; they came first. Jude was not there. We were travelling from state to state for music, sometimes they used my car (to distribute) flyers.
“We just took it as a family thing but we knew that it’s Peter and Paul that own it. We’re only supporting them. Sometimes we travelled to Abuja; my sister, the one we call Lilian, was the one who collected gate fee. As the elder brother I was the bodyguard.
“They started making money bit by bit. Jude came in and said he wanted to manage them. We allowed Jude, my mum disagreed,” he said.
