Peter Okoye Writes Brother Paul

By Redson Kandozi

In a deeply personal and revealing open letter, Peter Okoye, one half of the renowned Nigerian music duo P-Square, has addressed his brother Paul Okoye over ongoing disputes and public disagreements.

The letter, which was shared publicly, takes aim at Paul's recent interviews where he reportedly downplayed Peter's contributions to their joint music career and made controversial statements about their past work.

Peter Okoye begins the letter by emphasizing that he has no intention of competing with Paul or anyone else but expresses frustration over Paul's repeated discrediting of his efforts. He specifically challenges Paul's claim that he was responsible for 99% of P-Square's songs and criticizes the dismissal of their track "EjeaJo," which Peter co-wrote.

The letter underscores Peter's dismay at Paul's failure to acknowledge other successful songs from their repertoire, such as "Get-Squared," "Bizzy Body," and "Personally."

Throughout the letter, Peter reflects on the essence of P-Square’s success, asserting that it was their combined talent and unity that endeared them to fans, not individual contributions. He expresses disappointment in how Paul has publicly positioned himself as the sole creative force behind P-Square, and he laments the division that has emerged between them.

Peter also touches upon their post-breakup careers, questioning whether their solo projects have achieved the same level of success as P-Square did. He criticizes Paul for aligning with their elder brother Jude, implying that this alliance has further marginalized him and contributed to a narrative that undermines his role in the group.

In the closing remarks, Peter acknowledges the negative impact of the ongoing public disputes on their fan base and calls for a resolution. He stresses his desire to focus on his music and requests understanding from fans who have been influenced by the contentious narrative.

Peter Okoye concludes with a note about addressing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) matter, promising to provide clarity on the issue soon.

The letter marks a significant moment in the ongoing saga of the Okoye brothers, reflecting deep-seated frustrations and a longing for reconciliation.
