A former spokesman for the Labour Party’s Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has called on the candidate of the party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, to tell the world how he betrayed him after leaving the Labour Party.
DAILY POST reports that Okonkwo made the remark when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
The legal practitioner observed that he never consulted any of Obi’s rivals during the poll nor talked to any political party.
“When I left, I told the whole world…I said from now onward, I am not going to speak for this person again.
“They don’t understand what betrayal means. Anybody who is writing or saying anything about me is a reflection of who that person is; not a reflection of who I am,” Okonkwo stated.
Recall that in July 2024, the fiery supporter of Obi during the last poll, parted ways with the former Anambra governor and dumped the Labour Party.
The Nollywood star-turned-politician had expressed his disappointment with LP’s intra-party squabbles and Obi’s failure to address it.
He also denied receiving money or a house from Obi during the last electioneering process.
Okonkwo said he would allow Obi to be entitled to his opinion, adding that no one fights fot God.
The legal practitioner stated that since the LP presidential candidate made an insinuation that Jesus had 12 disciples and one turned against him, it means he’s claiming he is the Jesus in the analogy.
