Lola Okoye has always wanted to push the Psquare brand forward, to make it even bigger. With her experience in corporate Nigeria, she wanted to bring a more professional and PR-friendly way of doing business to the group.
Peter Okoye was keen on moving Psquare forward and took his wife's ideas in. Peter felt that Jude Okoye's managerial style was not professional enough and the business lacked structure.
Psquare which happens to be one of the biggest groups out of Africa never had a business office in all its years of doing business.

"Four years ago, I told Jude that he needs to step down as our manager because I didn’t want to disrespect him as a brother, but this is business, we have to structure it,"Peter Okoye told in an exclusive interview in 2016.
"The name Psquare is very big outside but inside we have no structure" he further said.
He brought his ideas to the Paul and Jude but that they shut it down. Paul and Jude Okoye preferred the old style of handling business. It had always worked for them and they were not eager to change the formula.
This led to a tussle between both camps (Peter/Lola on one side and Paul and Jude on the other).
Another insider close to the brothers revealed that Lola Okoye helped Peter Okoye snag several endorsement deals. This is what she wanted to bring to the group, a more celeb-focused way of doing business. Paul and Jude Okoye both said no.
