Kenneth Okonkwo, a veteran Nigerian actor, lawyer and politician who joined the Labor Party a few weeks ago to support Peter Obe’s presidency, has been accused of supporting the Labor Party’s presidential candidate because he is an Igbo man like him.
However, he went out to make it clear during his interviews with Arise TV, Kenneth Okonkwo stated that he decided to support Peter Obi because he believed he was the most qualified, not because he was from the Southeast or an Igbo guy like him.
According to him, some politicians are trying to make Peter Obi look like Igbo presidency, which is not true because Peter Obi is just a politician from southeast and has every right to be president of Nigeria. Just like everyone else. He also said that those in power in Peter Obi’s presidency are not even Igbo, citing Avnifer as an example, who publicly declared his support for Peter Obi.
He said: “When I joined the Labor party, some young people called me saying that some politicians were telling them not to support Peter Obi because he has no structure and he won’t win. In fact, some of these politicians are from the southeast. Some of these politicians went to national television to say that .They are the ones trying to turn him into an Igbo president. I know there are other people from other parts of the country who are defending Peter Obi, but now I say Peter Obi is just a politician from the southeast who wants to become the president of Nigeria.”
