Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general elections, has responded to Kenneth Okonkwo leaving the party and the Obidient Movement.
Okonkwo, who was the spokesperson for the Labour Party presidential campaign, recently announced his departure and blamed Peter Obi for the party’s internal crisis.
Peter Obi’s spokesperson, Yunusa Tanko, stated that Obi does not consider Okonkwo a traitor in the Obidient family but rather a cherished brother.
“Following the announcement of the former Spokesperson of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organization in the 2023 election, Kenneth Okonkwo that he was leaving both the Labour Party and the Obidients, I as Chief Spokesman of the Campaign contacted our principal Obi for his reaction
“He told me he was sad by the development because he sees Okonkwo as a junior brother who played his role diligently during our struggle.
“Obi told me succinctly that Okonkwo cannot be called a mole in our family with the services he rendered and still renders in our struggle to create a new Nigeria that is possible.
“When I asked Obi if I could make his views on Okonkwo public he said yes because the public needs to know that there is no personal misunderstanding between us and Okonkwo but only a disagreement based on style and approach to problems.”
