Kenneth Okonkwo, a veteran Nollywood actor and politician, has publicly criticized Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, over his N5 billion defamation lawsuit. In a statement on social media platform X, Okonkwo suggested that Obi should seek financial assistance for his campaign directly rather than resorting to legal action, which he characterized as "extortion." He also mentioned his past experience of covering his own expenses while serving as Obi's spokesperson and warned that pursuing the lawsuit could lead him to disclose confidential information from that period. Okonkwo stated that he had not yet reviewed the demand letter but expressed his readiness to respond formally and defend himself in court if necessary.
