Kenneth Okonkwo, an African Democratic Congress (ADC) member and Nollywood actor turned politician, denies allegations that he asked Peter Obi for rent. He makes the rebuttal in an interview on Symfoni TV.
Okonkwo responds to a claim attributed to a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, Katch Ononuju. In his account, he says he had already built his own houses before entering active politics and before working with Obi, arguing that he sought independence and has never requested rent from Obi or anyone. He also emphasizes that his stated loyalty is to Nigeria, the Nigerian people, the Constitution, and his faith-based principles rather than to any political party or individual.
Both outlets report the same dispute, the same interview setting, and the same denial. The coverage focuses on Okonkwo’s personal explanation and his rebuttal to the rent allegation, without presenting additional evidence or responses from Obi or Katch Ononuju.
