Why Peter Obi Insisted That Kenneth Okonkwo Cannot Be Called A Mole – Media Aide

In a statement via his Instagram page on Sunday, accused Peter Obi of being too weak and indecisive to confront national issues.

The movie star noted that the series of events in the Labour Party inspired his determination to chart a new course in his political journey, especially as Peter Obi has refused to seize the moment to build a solid party of integrity.

In reaction, the Labour Party (LP) on Sunday, through its National Publicity Secretary, Obiorah Ifoh, said it is aware of the moles within its ranks who are sure to be exposed and fumigated.

In a statement via X on Monday, Tanko said Peter Obi was sad over the development because he sees Okonkwo as a junior brother who played his role diligently during and after the 2023 election.

According to Tanko, Peter Obi insisted that Okonkwo cannot be called a mole due to his services in the struggle to create a new Nigeria.

He said, “Following the announcement of the former Spokesperson of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organization in the 2023 election, Kenneth Okonkwo that he was leaving both the Labour Party and the Obidients,

“I as Chief Spokesman of the Campaign contacted our principal Obi for his reaction and he told me he was sad by the development because he sees Okonkwo as a junior brother who played his role diligently during our struggle.

“Obi told me succinctly that Okonkwo cannot be called a mole in our family with the services he rendered and still renders in our struggle to create a new Nigeria that is possible.

“When I asked Obi if I could make his views on Okonkwo public he said yes because the public needs to know that there is no personal misunderstanding between us and Okonkwo but only a disagreement based on style and approach to problems.”
