A prominent chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has released what he described as evidence to support his allegations of bribery involving former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

MEDIA TODAY reports that Okonkwo, a lawyer and former actor, had earlier alleged that House of Representatives aspirants were made to pay N10 million, while senatorial aspirants allegedly paid N20 million during the party’s primary election process.

According to Okonkwo, one of the affected aspirants, Obunike Ohaegbu, informed him about the alleged payments and reportedly provided evidence of the transaction.

The allegations have continued to generate reactions across Nigeria’s political landscape, with Peter Obi’s legal team reportedly initiating legal action over the claims.

In a fresh development on Wednesday, Okonkwo shared screenshots of alleged WhatsApp conversations between himself and Obunike Ohaegbu. The chats, according to him, support his claim that Peter Obi was allegedly aware of, or connected to, the payments demanded from aspirants.

Sharing the alleged conversations on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Okonkwo wrote:

“Obunike Ohaegbu, when I questioned him to prove that Peter Obi was responsible for demanding the N10 million from him and other House of Representatives aspirants and N20 million from 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.”

The latest disclosure comes amid growing public interest in the controversy, as political observers await responses from all parties involved and the outcome of any legal proceedings arising from the allegations.
