You Made 3rd Class In University And Then You're Saying It Is Only You That Can Be President ~ Kenneth Okonkwo ADC chieftain
ADC chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has accused Mr. Peter Obi of projecting the impression that he is the only Igbo person capable of becoming Nigeria's president from the tribe.
Speaking on Channels TV, Okonkwo said. "You want to project the idea that it is only you who can be president? Who are you? Is that not an insult to more than 20 million Igbo people? You made 3rd Class in the University and then you're saying it is only you that can be president," he said.
Okonkwo revealed that despite his personal reservations about Obi's style, he consistently defended him within the ADC's National Working Committee.
He revealed how he raised no objection when Obi requested that his preferred candidate handle the role of National Organising Secretary to oversee the primary, and raised no alarm when Obi's aide was placed in charge of the party's online membership registration, all in a bid to make Obi feel secure. "So even when you organise your own primary, you are still afraid? Come on," Okonkwo said.
He called on Obi to step aside, arguing that the Igbo nation is not short of capable leaders. He argued that there are countless Igbo individuals with the intelligence and capacity to lead Nigeria
