However, in an interview with Channels programme, Okocha said he should be praised for being a whistleblower.

According to the embattled APC chairman, election riggers should not be behind bars.

He said, “On the issue of whether I rigged the election, I did not hide it. I should be praised as a whistleblower.

“If you were an armed robber yesterday, and today you came to confess that you stole something somewhere yesterday. Are you saying that the law will now take a retroactive effect? The answer is No.

“The reason we say and keep saying is because of what is on as we speak. When you have an idea of a thing and you see the other person also wants to use the tactics that you already know, you will shout. That is the reason why we went to court.”
