Peter Obi lured into NDC, he’s trapped – Kenneth Okonkwo

Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesman for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has revealed that Peter Obi, the NDC presidential flag bearer, entered a trap by joining the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC. Okonkwo stated that Obi was lured away from the ADC and into the NDC. The lawyer made these remarks during an interview with Channels Television.

Okonkwo described Atiku as the leader of the opposition, explaining that he challenged President Bola Tinubu to a debate. Okonkwo emphasized that Atiku officially challenged Tinubu because he is the leader of the opposition. He noted that the NDC came into existence on December 10 through a court order, legally classified as a political association rather than a party.

Okonkwo also pointed out that the opposition united to form a coalition, selecting the ADC on July 2, 2026, with Peter Obi among them. However, Obi found himself entangled in the NDC, where he now finds himself trapped. Okonkwo asserted that all opposition candidates have united behind Atiku Abubakar.
