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.
In a pre-action letter to Mr Okonkwo signed by his lawyer, Alex Ejesieme, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Obi accused the ADC chieftain of making false and defamatory statements against him when he appeared as a guest on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily on Monday.
Messrs Obi and Okonkwo were political allies before now.
