His Excellency Peter Gregory Obi Responds with Grace to Kenneth Okonkwo’s Criticism, Emphasizes Unity and Respect
Labour party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi, has addressed Kenneth Okonkwo’s allegations that he is too weak to defend his mandate. In a heartfelt response, Mr. Obi demonstrated his exceptional leadership qualities, which have earned him the support of millions of Nigerians. He wrote:
“Yesterday, I read my dear brother Kenneth Okonkwo’s open letter in which he expressed differing views with me on the skirmishes in our party. Today, I saw various responses to the letter.
I want to categorically and emphatically declare that Barrister Okonkwo remains my beloved brother and a trusted ally. I sternly caution against referring to him as a mole or making any negative remarks. Barr. Kenneth Okonkwo has stood by me through thick and thin, and his loyalty and commitment cannot be overstated or diminished. Disagreements and differing opinions are a natural part of any group, society, or movement, and it is essential to maintain a level of respect and decorum even when we disagree.

Having differing views does not make someone an enemy, and it is crucial to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to personal attacks or negative remarks.
In fact, personally, I don’t want to work with anyone who always agrees with me because, as a leader, learning and listening are critical components of leadership. I want to listen to those who have different opinions and try to convince them otherwise or take their advice if it is better.
I urge all believers in a New Nigeria to remain strong, resilient, and focused, and to refrain from discouragement or negative remarks towards Barrister Kenneth Okonkwo or anyone who leaves or disagrees with our views, strategies, or tactics.
My message is clear and simple: unity, respect, and civility must prevail, even in the face of disagreement and variance.” P.O
Peter Obi is clearly very different and has shown it over abd and over again in his utterances…. May God bless him and bring more peaceful Nigerians like him…i wish Kenneth Okonkwo luck…. He may decide to be Daniel Bwala or Reno Omokri (which would be very bad for him)…
