Peter Okoye (Mr. P) Responds to EFCC Allegations, Vows to Keep Speaking His Truth
Nigerian music star Peter Okoye, popularly known as Mr. P of the iconic music duo P-Square, has responded to recent controversies involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), asserting his right to speak his truth amid what he describes as attempts to discredit him.
The controversy escalated after Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Clement Onwuenwunor, on June 4, 2025, accused the singer of providing misleading information to the EFCC about his educational background and business records. Specifically, the SAN claimed that Peter, who had previously stated he graduated from the University of Abuja, allegedly dropped out during his first year—an assertion that has sparked heated debate on social media.
In a candid response on his social platforms, Mr. P dismissed the allegations, describing them as part of a calculated smear campaign. He expressed his dismay over what he believes are deliberate efforts to tarnish his image, while also reflecting on the public narrative surrounding the late singer Mohbad.
“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 one and only The Rock/Okwute of the Okoyes. The truth shall surely prevail,” he wrote.
Drawing from the lessons of Mohbad’s tragic death and the ensuing controversy, Peter revealed that he no longer intends to stay silent or play the “bigger person.”
“After watching everything about Mohbad’s death and how the whole thing played out to date, I decided I would never play the bigger person nor act as the mature one. So love me or hate me, I will continue speaking my truth.”
The singer’s bold declaration has since triggered a wave of reactions online, with fans, critics, and observers weighing in on the situation.
While some commend his candor, others have urged caution, emphasizing the legal implications of the ongoing EFCC scrutiny.
As the situation unfolds, Peter Okoye remains defiant, insisting that transparency and personal truth will guide his actions moving forward.
