FCT, Abuja – Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, on Monday, July 29, declared that estranged LP chieftain, Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo remains his “brother and trusted ally”.
In a statement personally signed and shared on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi “sternly” warned against referring to him as a mole or making any negative remarks.
According to the LP leader, Okonkwo “has stood by me through thick and thin, and his loyalty and commitment cannot be overstated or diminished”.
Obi wrote on X:
Furthermore, the former Anambra state governor urged “all believers of a New Nigeria” to remain strong, resilient, and focused and refrain from discouragement or negative remarks towards Kenneth Okonkwo.
Earlier, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Labour Party officially responded to Okonkwo’s resignation as the party’s former presidential campaign council spokesperson, stating that his departure was not a surprise.
The party addressed Okonkwo’s perceived criticism of Obi, describing it as unfortunate.
