Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent Nollywood actor and former spokesperson of the Labour Party presidential campaign council, has asserted that the ongoing crisis within the party will not hinder Peter Obi’s potential presidential candidacy in 2027.
According to Okonkwo, the essence of politics lies in the qualities of the candidate rather than their affiliations with a specific political party.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, he emphasized that Peter Obi embodies the vision of “a new Nigeria,” irrespective of the political platform he chooses to pursue his ambitions on.
He said, “2027 is about Peter Obi, not about Labour Party. Anybody who is bringing Peter Obi on the table, is bringing the new Nigeria, a new third force, absolute victory.
“When you come to elections, you take about candidates, not political parties. Peter Obi electrified Labour Party. He has no business to lose sleep over whatever is happening in any political party. How many months did he joined Labour Party? And he made what he made. People are loyal to his person. The new Nigeria is loyal to his people.”
