Minister of foreign affairs, Mr Geoffrey Onyeama has debunked reports that he declined requests by the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC to blackmail the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the United States.
Reports that Onyema was suspended from the party for refusing to blackmail Obi emerged on social media recently.

Geoffrey Onyeama, has been suspended by his party, the All Progressives Congress because as alleged, ‘he was sent to the United States to blackmail Peter Obi, and he declined the request’.
“The Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs states that there is no iota of truth to the mischievous allegations.”
