African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain and Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has launched a scathing attack on Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), labeling him a non-charismatic and classless politician lacking legal depth and knowledge.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, Okonkwo addressed Obi’s ongoing defamation suit against him, arguing that the former Anambra State Governor’s legal team needs to better educate him on defamation laws. Okonkwo maintained that his comments remain fully verifiable on public platforms and insisted he never defamed Obi. Furthermore, he endorsed assertions made by Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo—who claimed Obi lies habitually—and accused the politician of being a compulsive liar bent on crushing any emerging political talent from the South-East.
Okonkwo pointed out factual and legal flaws in Obi’s approach, noting that a defamation lawsuit addresses statements already made rather than anticipated remarks, and claimed that legal actions actually began prior to his recent statements. Referencing his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Okonkwo explained that he had merely cautioned against suing a former spokesperson to prevent the potential leakage of confidential information. He also questioned why Obi has failed to sue other critics, such as Omoyele Sowore—who labeled him a packaged fraud—or Festus Keyamo, concluding that Obi’s public statements display a clear lack of legal understanding.
