Okonkwo said he had seen a circulating letter involving Obi and his legal team and described the situation in a mocking tone, while insisting he had not yet fully reviewed the document. He suggested that if Obi required money for campaigning, he could have approached him privately instead of taking legal steps, adding that he would have assisted based on their past working relationship.

The former spokesman further stated that he had chosen not to publicly disclose certain information from his time in Obi’s political camp out of personal principle. However, he warned that he might reconsider that position if the matter proceeds to court.
Okonkwo added that he would give a formal response after going through the legal documents properly, while maintaining that he was not concerned about any potential lawsuit and was prepared to defend his position if required.
