The 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has threatened to file a N5 billion lawsuit against his former ally and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, for alleged defamation.
Obi, through his lawyers, Chief Alex Ejesieme (SAN) & Co., accused Okonkwo of making false allegations capable of damaging his reputation and public image.
In a letter dated June 9, 2026, and addressed to Okonkwo, Obi’s legal team demanded an immediate withdrawal of the statements, a public apology and a written undertaking against further publications.
The legal demand letter followed comments allegedly made by Okonkwo during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on June 8, 2026.
According to the solicitors, Okonkwo alleged that Obi and leaders of the NDC in the South-East demanded N10 million from House of Representatives aspirants after they had paid the party’s official expression of interest fees.
