Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has alleged that influencers were offered ₦3 million to say negative things about Peter Obi’s wife, Margaret. This comes amid a heated social media debate over a luxury Hermès Kelly 35 handbag Margaret was spotted carrying at an airport.
Revealing that someone tried to bribe him against her the week before, Maduagwu reacted by saying that he now believes it was all part of a coordinated campaign against Obi‘s family.
Rejecting the criticism aimed at Margaret, Uche insisted that the bag in question is nothing more than a personal gift.
His words, “Let me tell you, it has now showed that they don’t have anything dirty about people, they decided to go after his wife.”
