Peter Okoye has spoken candidly about the moment he chose to stop holding back and start telling his side of the story regarding his fallout with his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye.

He said he had been waiting for his brothers to come forward and admit they had wronged him, but instead, the situation continued to worsen.
"Maybe I was hoping there was going to be, let's just say, a wind of change. You know, these individuals are going to one day say, 'Okay, Peter, I think we've wronged you.' But it's getting deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper," he said.
Peter Okoye speaks his truth
Peter made it clear that his decision to go public was not motivated by a desire for validation from the masses.
He stressed that public opinion holds no weight for him personally, but that he felt an obligation to the fans who had supported P-Square throughout their career.
"I do not need public opinion. But just that I feel like the fans of Peace Square needs justice of what happened to their Peace Square," he added.
The interview follows a series of explosive accusations Peter had levelled against both his twin brother Paul, who performs as Rudeboy, and their elder brother Jude, who formerly managed the group.
EFCC petition and songwriting dispute
Peter claimed he filed a petition against Jude with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC, alleging that Jude secretly set up a company called Northside Music to divert millions of dollars belonging to P-Square.

He further alleged that the diverted funds were shared between Jude and Paul without his knowledge.
His grievances with Paul also centred on creative credit. Peter accused his twin of claiming he wrote and performed the vast majority of P-Square's catalogue, and of consistently using "I" and "me" rather than "we" and "us" when discussing the group's legacy, which Peter described as a deliberate attempt to push him out of the narrative.
He also alleged that Paul chose to side with Jude rather than work together to address the issues affecting the group.
