Kenneth Okonkwo has responded to a legal threat from former Anambra State governor and NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi, who demanded he withdraw certain allegations, pay N5 billion in compensation, and issue a public apology within seven days. Obi had warned that failure to meet those conditions would result in a N5 billion lawsuit being filed against Okonkwo.
The source content does not detail what specific allegations Okonkwo made, nor does it include the full text of his reaction to the threat. What is clear is that the ultimatum set a firm seven-day window, putting pressure on Okonkwo to respond publicly and quickly.
With the clock ticking and both men well known in Nigerian public life, how this plays out could make for a very interesting few days.
