Kenneth Okonkwo Calls Peter Obi Inconsequential for 2027

Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made a statement on Thursday during an interview with Channel Television, asserting that Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, is inconsequential in the context of the upcoming 2027 elections. Okonkwo criticized Obi's political relevance, suggesting that he has already been diminished in the political arena.

He remarked that Obi should not pretend to be a significant contender and pointed out that he has merely appointed a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, indicating a lack of independent political strength. Okonkwo's comments reflect a broader sentiment within the ADC regarding the political landscape as the 2027 general elections approach, where he expressed a desire to focus on more pressing issues rather than discussing someone he views as already politically down.
