Onyeka Onwenu and Patience Ozokwor reportedly at war over President Jonathan campaign funds
Celebrated entertainment personalities, Onyeka Onwenu and Patience Ozokwor are reportedly at daggers drawn over access to President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign funds, ThisDay reports.
The print media outlet reported that things got so bad that the ‘One love’ crooner and Mama G as the latter is fondly called who have unfettered access to Aso Rock caused a scene at one of their meetings and openly abused each other. Find Thisday’s report below.
“The fracas between the two Igbo women was not unconnected with who should control disbursement of the Jonathan campaign fund to a group of certain artistes. At one of the meetings, the centre just couldn’t hold any more and things fell apart.
Onwenu and Ozokwor allegedly openly abused themselves and called each other names. It took the intervention of Dame Patience Jonathan to calm the fighting women. They simply respected her but have continued to trade tirade at every opportunity.”

Albeit she sheds real tears in movies, these particular tears are for a cause. 2014 AMAA best supporting actress, Patience Ozokwor led other Nollywood thespians like Mercy Aigbe, Chinedu Ikedieze, Thelma Okhaz, Femi Ogedengbe from Allen Avenue, Ikeja to The Lagos State Secretariat in Alausa to protest the release of the over 200 girls kidnapped a month ago by Boko Haram.
Ozokwo fought back tears as she knelt down to speak about the missing girls and the urgent need for the government to bring them to back. They were later addressed by The State House of Assembly Speaker, Honorable Adeyemi Ikuforiji, who appreciated them for lending their voices to the campaign and assured them that all hands are on deck to rescue the girls.
