Nollywood actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo says that in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) is the one to beat.
Okonkwo stated on Channels TV Politics Today on Thursday that it is clear Obi is the one Nigerians want and that others are only competing to increase the number of candidates.
When asked by the presenter whether the Labour Party candidate would lose the 2023 presidential election, Okonkwo responded that it is only possible if Nigerians permit vote-stealing fraud at the polls.

Okonkwo asserted during the broadcast that all other prominent presidential contenders for the 2023 elections are advocating an ethnic viewpoint, with the exception of Obi, who is nationalistic in outlook and advocating an unified Nigeria.
According to him, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar is about the north while the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu is about the south with his ’emi lokan’ slogan.
In his words, “Let’s talk about sectional politics, as I have said, Atiku went to the north and said northerners should vote only for somebody from the North, not Yoruba, not Igbo. What can be more ethnic than that?
“Tinubu went to Ogun state and said it is the turn of the Yorubas and when it comes down to the Yorubas, it is my turn; that is the meaning of E mi lokan. What can be more sectional than that?

“Peter Obi went to the Igbo people and at the risk of losing their votes, he told them, “do not vote for me because I am Igbo, vote for me because I’m a man of competence, character and capacity. And Nigerians, he said, it is not the turn of anybody. In 2023, it is the turn of Nigerians.”
Okonkwo asserted that it is obvious Obi has already won the 2023 presidential election based on the findings of public surveys.
According to him, this would only be verified during the elections in February 2023.
He said: “Check the analysis as I’ve always told you, take it by polls, you know there are three polls that have come out and in the first one, he scored 23, in the second one 53 and in the third one 75.
“Soon and very soon, before the election reaches when the two candidates will unravel and I am sure they are already unravelling then it will now be Peter Obi and others.

“Because then collectively, they will not have up to five per cent and whenever you don’t get up to five per cent you’ll be classified as others. “So it is going to be Peter Obi and others, there is no other candidate.”
