Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Okonkwo rejected rumours that he sought financial assistance after leaving Peter Obi’s camp, saying he had been financially independent for decades.
“In 1994, in Lagos, I packed into my own duplex, which as a young man of twenty I rented myself at 5 CBA Street, Lagos. I lived there for fourteen years.
