NDC aspirant sent receipt, Kenneth Okonkwo accuses Obi of accepting bribes

Nollywood actor‑turned‑politician Kenneth Okonkwo has claimed that the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, and other party leaders in the South‑East were bribed during the recent primary elections.

Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the allegation in an interview on Channels TV.

He said a House of Representatives aspirant from Anambra State sent him an “SOS message” exposing alleged fraud that he says surrounded the outcome of the primaries.

Okonkwo, who says that anyone voting for Peter Obi and the NDC in 2027 is “voting for criminality,” identified the whistle‑blower as Obunike Ohaegbu, who sought to represent the Nnewi North and Nnewi South Federal Constituency in Anambra State via the NDC.

According to Okonkwo, the NDC aspirant “sent an SOS to me and said that Peter Obi is now the head of the criminality that they were scammed in NDC.”

“He said Kwankwaso went to his people and made sure that every constituency produced one candidate so that they are not scammed, but Peter Obi told them that all the aspirants should go into the field, and the aspirants were told that they were going to have primaries.”

“Remember that Dickson came out and said once you pay for your expression of interest form, you are not going to pay any money, when you are the one who is nominated, that is when you will pay nomination fees.”

“All of them ran into it then Peter Obi and leaders of the South‑East, NDC caucus, went and told them that after paying for the expression of interest forms, you must pay N10 million bribe for Reps and Senate, N20 million.”

“When all of them paid, thinking they were the candidates, they were told to go for the primary. While they were doing the primaries, Peter Obi was in the John Wood hotel writing names of candidates.”

“The aspirant sent me the receipt of the money.”
