I Have Seen Qualities That Make Peter Obi Unfit To Be President – Kenneth Okonkwo
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has accused the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, of betraying him.
NEWSNGR reports that Okonkwo made the accusation during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.
He said he had publicly ended his relationship with Obi in 2024 after concluding that the NDC flagbearer lacked the decisiveness required to lead Nigeria.
The Nollywood veteran-turned politician said this barely 24 hours after Atiku appointed him as his spokesman.
Okonkwo said, “As a public affairs analyst that I have been from 2009 before I ever met Peter Obi, I proceeded with my job. You were one of the earliest interviewers that interviewed me in July 2024 when I said I wasn’t speaking for him anymore because he’s not decisive.
“I’ve seen in him certain qualities that make him unfit to be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I made it public. By then, I had finished my job with him. But in order for the people to know that I am not speaking for him anymore, I made it public, and I went my own way, and I was doing my own job.
“He was the one who betrayed me.”
