A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has made public what he claims is evidence backing his bribery allegations against NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Reports indicate that the actor-turned-politician had on Monday alleged that Obi and other NDC leaders in the South-East collected N10 million and N20 million from House of Representatives and senatorial aspirants respectively.
According to Okonkwo, one of the aspirants, Obunike Ohaegbu, disclosed the alleged bribe to him along with a receipt.
The allegation has since attracted a lawsuit from Obi's legal team.
In a bid to substantiate his claims, Okonkwo on Wednesday morning shared alleged WhatsApp chat exchanges between himself and Ohaegbu on social media, in which the latter purportedly revealed how Obi was involved in what he described as charade primary elections conducted by the NDC.
"Obunike Ohaegbu, when I questioned him to prove that Peter Obi was responsible for demanding the N10m from him and other HOR aspirants and N20m from the 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," Okonkwo wrote.
