"I Stopped Speaking for Peter Obi Because He Is Indecisive and Unfit to Be Nigeria’s President" — Kenneth Okonkwo
Kenneth Okonkwo has publicly stated that he withdrew his support and role as a spokesperson for Peter Obi because he no longer believes the former Anambra State governor possesses the leadership qualities needed to govern Nigeria.
Speaking during a recent interview, Okonkwo said his experience working closely with Obi led him to conclude that the Labour Party leader struggles to make firm political decisions. According to him, Nigeria's complex political and economic challenges require a president who can take bold and timely decisions.
Okonkwo argued that while Peter Obi remains a respected political figure with a significant support base, leadership at the national level demands decisiveness, especially when dealing with issues of governance, security, and national development.
The former campaign spokesperson said his criticism is based on his personal assessment and experiences rather than personal animosity. He maintained that his views reflect what he believes is in Nigeria's best interest.
As of the time of this report, Peter Obi has not publicly responded to Okonkwo's latest remarks. It also remains unclear whether the comments will affect ongoing political realignments ahead of future elections.
Kenneth Okonkwo was one of the prominent voices in Peter Obi's 2023 presidential campaign under the Labour Party. However, he later announced his departure from the party, citing disagreements over its internal direction and concerns about its leadership. Since then, he has remained active in national political discussions, occasionally commenting on opposition politics and the country's leadership.
Okonkwo's comments add to the growing debate over leadership, party unity, and the future of Nigeria's opposition ahead of the next electoral cycle. Whether his criticism will influence public opinion or political alliances remains to be seen.
