Popular Nigerian singer Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P, has spoken out online after facing new allegations involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The singer, who is one half of the famous music duo P-Square, responded strongly to claims that he gave false information to the EFCC.
A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Clement Onwuenwunor, accused Peter of lying about his school background and finances. According to reports, Peter once said he graduated from the University of Abuja.
But the lawyer claims that Peter actually dropped out in his first year at the university. These claims have now added fuel to an already growing controversy.
Peter, however, is not keeping quiet. He took to social media to share his side of the story and defend himself.
“I Will Keep Speaking My Truth”
Peter made it clear that he would no longer stay silent about his life. He mentioned that watching how things unfolded after the death of fellow singer Mohbad pushed him to speak up.
He said, “Exactly what I was talking about: their publicist doing everything to make me look like a liar. I am not MayD or Cynthia Morgan; I am PETER OKOYE… the truth shall surely prevail.”
He explained that in the past, he tried to act maturely and avoid drama. But now, he feels that silence only makes things worse.
“After watching everything about Mohbad’s death and how the whole thing played out, I promised myself to never stay quiet again,” he said.
Fans React to Peter’s Bold Words
Peter’s statement caused a stir online. Some fans showed support, while others didn’t hold back their criticism.
One Instagram user, @melanin_ruth_, asked if Peter’s family couldn’t help calm the situation. Another, @waledarep, accused Peter of using MayD and Cynthia Morgan’s names only now, even though he didn’t support them before.
@myz_joe1112 wrote, “Peter playing the pity card again. Only fools will believe you. Now you remember MayD and Cynthia Morgan?”
On the brighter side, a fan with the handle @herexcellencyfashion said, “Peter, the Lord is your strength. Keep speaking your truth, brother.”
Family Drama and Personal Issues
Peter’s words also touched on his issues with family members, especially his brother Jude Okoye. He said he felt like he was being painted as the bad one for speaking up.
He used hashtags like #UnaThiefAbiUnaNoThief and #FamilyDoesNotStealFromFamily, hinting at a deeper family conflict. This shows that his problems go beyond just legal matters—they also involve personal hurt and family disagreements.
