Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, has made a move to reconcile the iconic music duo P-Square by visiting Peter Okoye, also known as Mr P. The visit, which occurred on August 15, 2024, was aimed at mending the rift between the P-Square brothers, who have once again split due to recent disagreements.
A photo of Obi conversing with Mr P at his residence surfaced online, signaling his continued efforts to heal the divide within the group. This visit follows Obi’s earlier meeting with the other half of P-Square, Paul Okoye, also known as Rudeboy.
The brothers, alongside their older sibling Jude Okoye, have recently made headlines for negative reasons. Their social media posts have hinted at significant discord, with accusations flying between them. Paul Okoye has publicly confirmed the latest split, alleging that his twin brother set him up for arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). However, Peter Okoye has denied these claims and accused Jude Okoye of misappropriating funds.
P-Square’s history of conflict dates back to September 2017 when Peter Okoye announced his departure from the group due to ongoing disputes. Following the split, Peter adopted the stage name Mr. P, while Paul performed as Rudeboy. Despite their solo successes, the brothers reunited in 2021, releasing new tracks and hinting at a potential new album.
Peter Obi’s intervention reflects his commitment to resolving high-profile disputes and restoring unity within the celebrated music duo.
