Peter Obi Responds to Kenneth Okonkwo’s Exit And Denies Claims of Betrayal

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has addressed Kenneth Okonkwo’s recent departure from the party and the Obidient Movement.
Okonkwo, who served as the spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, announced his exit from both the Labour Party and the Obidient Movement, attributing his decision largely to Obi’s management of internal party issues.
In response to Okonkwo’s departure, Peter Obi’s spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, reached out to Obi for his comments. Obi expressed his disappointment over Okonkwo’s decision, emphasizing that he views Okonkwo not as a traitor but as a valued member of the movement.
Obi described Okonkwo as a “junior brother” who had diligently fulfilled his role during the campaign and continues to contribute to the cause of building a new Nigeria.
Obi clarified that while there are disagreements regarding styles and approaches to resolving issues, there is no personal animosity between himself and Okonkwo.
He stressed that Okonkwo’s past contributions should not be overshadowed by current differences and that Okonkwo cannot be considered a mole within the movement.
Tanko indicated that Obi’s sentiments were shared openly to assure the public that the parting of ways with Okonkwo was based on differing viewpoints rather than any personal conflict.

Lukman Blames Opposition Leaders for Nigeria’s Political Struggles

Dr. Salihu Lukman, a former National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has criticized Nigeria’s opposition leaders, accusing them of playing a significant role in the country’s current political struggles.
In a statement released on Sunday, Lukman argued that many opposition figures and politically sidelined politicians contributed to the failures of past administrations.
He believes they should acknowledge their roles and step back rather than attempting to position themselves as alternatives to the current government.
“Based on their track records, many of these politicians would likely perform worse than former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari, and even President Tinubu,” Lukman stated.
He described them as intolerant and unable to build strong political structures, leading to their loss of influence in their respective states.

Trump shared that the conversation covered significant global and bilateral issues, including trade imbalances, the fentanyl crisis, the future of TikTok, and more.
“I had a great call with Chairman Xi Jinping of China. It was a positive discussion for both our nations. We are ready to address critical issues immediately, including trade, fentanyl, and TikTok.
Together, we will work toward making the world a safer and more peaceful place,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
