Okonkwo Dismisses Obi’s Defamation Suit, Questions Onitsha Filing

Kenneth Okonkwo says he has not been served any court papers in Peter Obi’s defamation case. He told Channels Television that his comments on alleged party dealings were based on public information and cannot constitute defamation. Okonkwo referenced claims that Obi and Senator Seriake Dickson offered activist Aisha Yesufu a House of Representatives ticket to drop her Senate bid, saying he only highlighted what was already reported. He described the lawsuit as a civil matter receiving unnecessary publicity. He also challenged the choice of an Onitsha court, noting he lives and made the comments in Abuja. Okonkwo declared he is ready to respond wherever the case is filed, joking, “Let them go to the Atlantic Ocean – we’ll meet them there.”
