Ndi Kato Says Peter Obi’s Former Allies Saw a ‘Leadership Deficit’

Ndi Kato, a former spokesperson for Peter Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign, has criticised the former Labour Party candidate after Yunusa Tanko left Obi’s political circle. Kato said the departure of people who had worked closely with Obi pointed to what she called a leadership deficit. Tanko, a former coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, was recently named National Coordinator and Director-General of Adewole Adebayo’s SDP presidential campaign council ahead of the 2027 election. Kato’s comments followed reports of his move and included further criticism of Obi and his supporters. Tanko’s departure adds to a series of political shifts involving figures associated with Obi’s 2023 campaign. Former spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo has also publicly criticised Obi, while other former allies have distanced themselves or declined to endorse him for 2027.
