Kenneth Okonkwo’s U-Turn: From Peter Obi Ally to Court Adversary

Kenneth Okonkwo has gone from being Peter Obi’s loyal spokesperson in 2023 to one of his most vocal critics. Their new rift has sparked a court battle over alleged extortion, bribery, and political sabotage. During the last presidential campaign, the Nollywood actor and lawyer championed Obi’s vision for a “New Nigeria.” He defended Obi’s competence as former governor of Anambra State and rallied supporters around the Labour Party candidate. Now Okonkwo has accused Obi’s camp of financial misconduct and has taken the fight to court. Observers say the showdown could shape the Labour Party’s unity and influence its future direction.
