Former Labour Party presidential campaign spokesman and African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has launched one of his strongest attacks yet on Peter Obi, describing the former Anambra State governor as a “classless, non-charismatic politician with little knowledge and zero depth.”
Speaking during a television interview, Okonkwo accused Obi of lacking the leadership qualities required to govern Nigeria, saying he had lost confidence in the former Labour Party presidential candidate after observing his actions following the 2023 elections.
‘Little Knowledge, Zero Depth’
Okonkwo said Obi’s recent political statements reinforced his belief that the former governor lacked a deep understanding of national issues.
According to him, Obi’s approach to politics and leadership has consistently fallen short of the expectations of many Nigerians who supported him during the 2023 presidential election.
Fresh Blow to Former Political Alliance
The latest remarks mark another escalation in the public fallout between the two former political allies.
Okonkwo, who once served as one of Obi’s most vocal supporters, has repeatedly criticised the former Labour Party candidate in recent months, accusing him of poor political judgment and weak leadership.
Political Tensions Ahead of 2027
The exchange comes as political activities continue to intensify ahead of the 2027 general election, with former allies increasingly taking opposing positions as new alliances and coalitions emerge.
