Kenneth Okonkwo, a veteran actor, has accused Peter Obi, a former presidential contender, of betraying him during internal party divisions.
This was said by Kenneth in an interview with Symfoni that went viral.
When Okonkwo left the Labour Party in February 2025, he was no longer a spokesperson for the party’s Presidential Campaign Council.
He claims that Obi disregarded his counsel and returned to the side of the party’s beleaguered Julius Abure-led faction.
Kenneth asserted that LP executives conned Obi into believing they were recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.

“No politician who is knowledgeable about his job can be betrayed by another,” he remarked.
“I really believe that Peter Obi betrayed me, if anyone has ever betrayed another.
The LP members led by Julius Abure falsely claimed that they had been accepted by the Independent National Electoral Commission, so Obi returned to them covertly. However, I informed him that, “Sir, you have made a public statement on integrity, and even if INEC has accepted them, that is not a criterion for you to go back and start dealing with them because they have shown that they are not democratic “. Everything you have stated about honesty will be destroyed if you return to them, and they will ruin your political career.
