NDC Lawyers Issue Demand Notice to Kenneth Okonkwo to Formally Retract Defamatory Allegations Against Peter Obi
Lawyers for the NDC have issued a formal legal warning to Kenneth Okonkwo, demanding an immediate public retraction of defamatory statements made against Labour Party leader Peter Obi under threat of immediate litigation.
The legal directorate representing the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) has dispatched a formal, high-stakes demand notice to veteran actor turned political commentator, Kenneth Okonkwo, ordering an immediate and unconditional public retraction of allegedly defamatory statements targeted at the Labour Party’s former presidential candidate, Peter Obi. The legal dispute stems from a series of highly publicized media appearances and digital video broadcasts where Okonkwo allegedly made unsubstantiated claims regarding Obi's post-election political strategies, funding mechanisms, and backroom engagements with rival political parties.
The formal legal brief asserts that Okonkwo’s public assertions were deliberately fabricated to damage Peter Obi's political character, mislead the public, and erode his reputation among local and international supporters. The NDC's legal team stated that the document serves as a final administrative warning before the initiation of aggressive tort litigation in a court of law. Okonkwo has been given a strict statutory window to issue an explicit apology across multiple national newspapers and digital platforms, failing which the legal team will demand substantial financial damages for character assassination.
