Supporters of 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi claim that they can trace Judas Iscariot's lineage back to veteran actor, lawyer, and politician Kenneth Okonkwo. This claim comes after the 55-year-old actor left the Labour Party and Peter Obi's camp after two years with them.
In a statement published in his X handle on July 27, 2024, Kenneth Okonkwo said he had lost total confidence in Peter Obi's leadership, openly calling him spineless for not using dirty tricks to wrestle against the opposition party cabals and secure the 2023 presidential mandate. As if things could get any worse, the actor-now-politician claims that recent happenings in the party “inspired” him to chart a new course for his political journey.
Naturally, the influential personality was careful in his choice of words and refused to say whether he was planning to join the ruling party. But obidients appear to have interpreted the actor’s move as such and have begun to call him out for betraying Peter Obi and the Labour Party at a convenient time.
Going by history, Peter Obi is known for playing politics in the most unconventional manner, moving and reacting slowly like a tortoise but exuding the wisdom and cunningness of the African folktale animal—just when the time is right!
But could Kenneth Okonkwo be right about the former governor of Anambra state, or did he betray Okwute? Despite Peter Obi’s reaction, does he still see the actor as a friend or foe?
