In the midst of internal party strife, veteran actor Kenneth Okonkwo believes Peter Obi, a past presidential candidate, betrayed him.
In an interview with Symfoni that went viral, Kenneth said this.
Okonkwo formally left the Labour Party in February 2025 after serving as a spokesperson for the party’s Presidential Campaign Council.
Against his advice, he said, Obi returned to the side of the party’s beleaguered Julius Abure-led group.
According to Kenneth, LP leaders deceived Obi by claiming that they were recognized by the Independent National Electoral Commission, or INEC.

Any politician who is aware of what he is doing cannot be betrayed by another, he declared.
“If anyone has ever betrayed another, I can state with certainty that Peter Obi did so to me.
Obi secretly returned to them after the Julius Abure-led LP members falsely claimed that they had been accepted by the Independent National Electoral Commission. However, I informed him, “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.” Your political career will be destroyed if you return to them, and all of your integrity-related statements would be lost.
