Senator Chris Anyanwu has challenged former Imo State governor, Ikedi Ohakim, to produce the “lengthy letter of apology” he claimed she wrote to the late Gen. Sani Abacha’s military government.
Ohakim recently alleged while speaking with journalists in Owerri that Anyanwu apologised to Abacha “and owned up that she told lies in order to sell her magazine.” He also threatened to “publish a copy of that apology for Nigerians to see the type of person she really is.”
Anyanwu, who was imprisoned from 1995 to 1998 for treason, denied writing the letter and dared Ohakim to produce it in court.
“Ohakim must explain this; explain what he did for a living at the time and what qualified him to keep Abacha’s secrets.
“When we get a glimpse into his opaque professional past, then we will appreciate why it is not beyond the realms of possibility for him to weave and fabricate this great lie,” she said.
Anyanwu also addressed Ohakim’s comments about her autobiography, “Bold Leap,” saying it was not about Imo State or its politics, but about her life.
