Blaming opposition for hunger is ‘delusion’, Atiku tells Tinubu Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu of blaming the opposition for the country’s economic hardship. He said the President was trying to evade responsibility for his administration’s policies. Tinubu had earlier on Saturday blamed his political opponents for hunger and poverty in the country while speaking at the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign flag-off in Kaduna. “I hear my opponent talking about hunger, poverty. Who created it? They did! They created the hunger, they created the poverty. We are trying to eradicate it,” the President said. Atiku, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, said Nigerians were entitled to demand answers from the APC-led government over rising living costs, poverty, insecurity and questions surrounding public expenditure. In a statement issued on Saturday by the Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Ca...

 Kenneth Okonkwo: Peter Obi betrayed me — he’s committing political suicide


Kenneth Okonkwo, a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), has accused Peter Obi, the party’s standard-bearer in 2023, of betraying him. 

In an interview with Symfoni TV, Okonkwo said Obi failed to manage the leadership crisis that has rocked the party since the 2023 election.

He claimed that Obi aligned with the Julius Abure-led faction of the party, which is allegedly hobnobbing with the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okonkwo said Obi repeatedly ignored calls to distance himself from Abure’s faction.

The former LP spokesperson also faulted Obi’s leadership style, saying the ex-Anambra governor lacks the traits of a team player and an effective manager.

He pointed to instances where Obi reportedly endorsed non-LP candidates during elections, alienating loyal party members. 

“When we started in 2023, it was an organic movement. Every Nigerian wanted change. Every Nigerian was dissatisfied with the way things were going. So, we felt that something new was appearing on the horizon,” he said.

“And because I am a man focused on the security and welfare of Nigerians, not a politician loyal to any political party, I was committed to the movement. Nobody drafted me into it.

“I followed the movement on my own accord. So, when I was chosen to be a spokesperson, I honoured it. Everybody knew what I did and the contributions I made.

“We did what we did, and we believe we won the election. What happened after that? If you are a brilliant politician, what you should do is to start preparing and consolidating for 2027, and the first platform you begin with is your party.”

He claimed that Obi is “a politician of convenience, not a politician of conviction”.

“Nobody is murdering Obi’s political career. Obi is committing political suicide. And I mean it,” he added.

Okonkwo dismissed claims that he betrayed Obi by leaving the LP.

“Any politician who knows what he is doing cannot be betrayed by anybody. If there is anybody who betrayed the other, I can say it emphatically that Peter Obi betrayed me,” he said.

Okonkwo left the LP in July 2024 after saying he no longer has confidence in Obi’s ability to build a party that can win elections.

He said Obi has “proved that even if the people vote for him, he doesn’t have what it takes to secure the mandate”.

A month before he left the party, Okonkwo described the LP as “a secret society led by a group of clowns”.
