Breaking: Kenneth Okonkwo Finally Cuts Ties With Peter Obi
Popular Nollywood actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has parted ways with the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.
CityNews Nigeria reports that Okonkwo made this known in a statement via his Instagram page on Sunday, accusing Peter Obi of being too weak and indecisive to confront national issues.
He stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as presently constituted, do not have what it takes to make Nigeria a great nation but attempt to cripple the country.
According to Okonkwo, the country needs a solid political party with a robust grassroots base and a decisive leader to wrestle power with PDP and APC.
The movie star noted that the series of events in the Labour Party inspired his determination to chart a new course in his political journey, especially as Peter Obi has refused to seize the moment to build a solid party of integrity.
Okonkwo also stated that he was shocked when the former Governor of Anambra State publicly declared that he did not promise Nigerians to build a strong LP but to solve Nigeria’s problem, whereas a solid political base is needed to overthrow the opposition parties.
He also faulted Peter Obi’s failure to dissociate himself from the ongoing crisis and criminal activities of the LP National Working Committee (NWC) and his failure to support the effort of the Labour Union in fighting for the welfare of workers.
