Peter Okoye Accuses Brothers of Long-Term Betrayal

I call it betrayal of the highest level. The truth has a way of coming out! Wait until the EFCC starts releasing documents in court. Una go dey alright las las,' he wrote.
Defense of the P-Square Name
Replying to a critic who demanded that he drop the twin tag, Peter Okoye explained that he solely created, earned, and owns the name. 'Exactly why some of y'all are pained. I discovered the name, I earned it, and now I own it 100. It's a game of chess. I remember we are still in court even as of yesterday! With time, you'll understand. Una go dey alright las las,' he stated.
Wives Not to Blame
Peter also defended the wives in the family, stating that no woman caused the rift because the stealing started long before any of the Okoye brothers got married. 'Before you drag any woman into this! No woman directed or advised anyone to steal from what I worked for over the years. Stop pushing that narrative to suit your agenda. None of us were even married 20 something years ago when this whole betrayal and stealing started! I said what I said,' he emphasized.
