Dr Ikedi Ohakim, former governor of Imo State, says the mastermind of a trending audio alleging that he hosted a meeting where Labour Party guber candidate for the forthcoming guber election in the state, Senator Attan Achonu, was bribed with $1m in order not to ‘strongly’ challenge incumbent Gov Hope Uzodinma’s re-election is ‘criminally defamatory’.
Ohakim expressed his reaction to the audio via his verified Twitter handle. He said the perpetrator of the defamation was ‘known’, adding that prompt steps would be taken to bring the person to book.
