Renowned Nollywood actor turned politician Kenneth Okonkwo has claimed that Peter Obi, the candidate for the Labour Party, has a similar objective to all other presidential contenders in the general elections of 2023.
Remember that during the previous election, Okonkwo served as the spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council?
The ardent “Obidient” movement fan claimed that all of the presidential contenders in the most recent election ultimately replicated Obi’s agenda without understanding the paths taken by the former Anambra State governor to accomplish those goals.
He said that in addition to knowing what he wanted, Obi possessed the requisite skill, ability, and character that the other candidates lacked.
Further, in a recent interview with Arise TV, Okonkwo made fun of Nyesom Wike, the current minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for taking a job in the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
Wike’s move, in Okonkwo’s opinion, is a reflection of the PDP’s waning influence in Nigerian politics.
Okonkwo concurred with Peter Obi, who declared recently that the Labour Party would accept its new position as the main opposition party in the nation.
He underlined that the Labour Party has established itself as the principal opposition party thanks to its robust platform and broad support across all six geopolitical zones.

“To take you back to the time of the campaigns, you may remember that Peter Obi was the only person who crafted the seven-point agenda that all the other parties were copying from, albeit doing a terrible job at it.
“You may remember he was the one who came out as a candidate and defended his agenda, which included security and uniting the country.
“If you checked all these people (the presidential candidates), you would realize that they were simply copying from him without learning the routes he wanted to achieve those things.
“Apart from knowing exactly what he wanted, he had the commensurate competence, capacity and character to thrive, which are lacking in the other candidates,” Okonkwo said.
He added: “So that’s why he’s now saying we are the main opposition party. So he has earned the accolade of being the main opposition leader. And I will tell you that he will do it effectively well pending when Nigeria would realize the dream of a new nation through him.

“And in all honesty, PDP is not in existence in the political realm of Nigeria. Because let’s take an example of what is happening in the PDP.
“A presidential aspirant of the PDP (Wike) who was the first runner-up during the presidential primary election of the party, and who vowed that he would never leave the party no matter what, is now a minister in the APC, telling you that PDP has totally been absorbed by the APC.”
