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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
