I have not read history up to where Okotie eboh was accused of being at variance with Zik. However as Finance minister he was in the thick of the ten percent bribery allegation on the ruling coalition. Contractors allegedly were expected to give back ten percent of whatever they are paid to finance the party in government.
However during the time of the coup the coalition had already fallen apart and the NPC was in another coalition with Akintola's NNDP. I think we could say the NCNC was no longer in power by then but Zik was the President. I am not very sure of the details

Azikiwe wanted Mbadiwe who was a far far bigger robber than Okotie Eboh to be Minister of Finance instead of Okotie-Eboh

Okotie-Eboh refused to step Down for Mbadiwe
when Azikiwe asked him to step down.

Surprise Suprise the only NCNC politician murdered in the Ifeajuna led Coup was Okotie-Eboh.

By the way ifeajuna was Azikiwe's cousin.
They were also both from Onitsha

Don't let anyone lie to you that it was a mere coincidence

The President is the highest ranking citizen like King and Zik's name was written in the constitution. It was a high honor and he still had his boys or subordinates as ministers. Parliamentary system isn't rigid like that and they had meetings, shared posts and worked together

It was a Ceremonial position with no power and Azikiwe was not happy about that

Our governor is doing what he have to do in order to calmed the nerves of MNK extremely gullible and emotionally disturbed followers by given them false hope.
Nobody is going to release an unrepentant terrorist to come out and start all over again.
Nnamdi Kanu's freedom is up to him.

Otti is a very sensible man. He knew if he did not take these steps the followers of that sick man will attack him
