PSquare: Peter Obi Visits Paul And Jude Okoye Amid Ongoing Family Dispute

Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, paid a visit to the Okoye family by visiting Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy, and his elder brother and music executive Jude Okoye. The visit took place amid a tense family dispute involving the Okoye brothers.

The Okoye family feud has escalated in recent weeks following allegations made by Rudeboy in a recent interview. Rudeboy accused his twin brother, Peter Okoye, also known as Mr. P, of filing a petition with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that led to his arrest. This claim has fueled tension within the family, particularly between the two brothers who were once united as the popular music duo P-Square.

In response to the allegations, Peter Okoye issued an open letter on Monday on social media clarifying things his brother said in his interview that saw him (Peter) in a bad light. He released another postemphasising the EFCC issue. He explained that his focus was instead on investigating the ownership of a company, Northside Music, which is allegedly controlled by their elder brother, Jude Okoye, and his wife, Ifeoma. Peter Okoye asserted that his inquiries were driven by the need to uncover the truth behind the secret company.

In what many have interpreted as an effort to mediate and restore peace, Obi visited Paul and Jude Okoye on Tuesday. Following the visit, Rudeboy took to social media to express his gratitude to the former governor of Anambra State. He shared photos of the visit with the caption, “Thank you very much, and God bless you sir P.O @peterobigregory #yourexcelency.”

The visit by Obi holds significance, as both Paul and Peter were vocal supporters of his presidential campaign under the Labour Party. The intervention by a respected political figure like Obi has sparked conversations about the potential for reconciliation within the Okoye family, although the outcome of the visit remains unclear.
