Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, said Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate, saw value in him.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics, Okonkwo said on Thursday that former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi betrayed him today.
The Nollywood veteran-turned politician said this barely 24 hours after Atiku made him his spokesman.
He said he had publicly ended his relationship with Obi in 2024 after he concluded that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, was not decisive enough to lead Nigeria.
“I continued my job as a public affairs analyst since 2009, before I ever met Peter Obi. You were one of the first interviewers that interviewed me in July 2024 when I said I was not speaking for him anymore because he’s not decisive.
I have seen in him some qualities that make him unsuitable to be the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I made it public. I was done with my job with him by then. But I went public so people would know that I was no longer speaking for him and I went my own way and I was doing my own job.
“He was the one who betrayed me,” said Okonkwo.
