Peter Obi: Okonkwo Publishes WhatsApp Chat and Evidence Supporting Bribery Allegation

Kenneth Okonkwo, a senior member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has released what he claims to be evidence supporting his accusations of bribery against Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to Daily Post, Obi and other NDC leaders in the South East allegedly solicited N10 million from House of Representatives aspirants and N20 million from senatorial aspirants. Okonkwo says that one of the aspirants, Obunike Ohaegbu, disclosed the alleged bribe to him and provided a receipt.

The allegations have prompted a lawsuit from Obi’s legal team.

In a post on X on Wednesday morning, Okonkwo shared purported WhatsApp conversations between himself and Obunike. In the chats, Obunike allegedly explains how Obi was involved in the alleged NDC primary elections.

“Obunike Ohaegbu, when I questioned him to prove that Peter Obi was responsible for demanding the N10 m from him and other HOR aspirants and N20 m 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.
