Obi’s Exit from ADC Sparked South-East Uncertainty, Says Kenneth Okonkwo

Kenneth Okonkwo says Peter Obi’s sudden departure from the ADC left South-East leaders without a strong negotiator. He made these remarks on Channels Television’s Morning Brief. Okonkwo explained that Obi was the region’s main figure in party talks. His exit before final consultations created a gap. Potential replacements were limited by the Electoral Act’s registration deadlines. He noted that the South-East has not produced a president or vice president since 1999. Okonkwo believes this long history underscores the region’s expectations. He remains optimistic that the ADC can rally ahead of the 2027 election.
