Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has made a U-turn on his support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC. Okonkwo claims he was misled when he defended Obi against allegations that he left behind debts as Anambra State governor. The Nollywood veteran-turned politician made the revelation during a discussion on TVC's Sunday Politics program.
Okonkwo stated that he can no longer stand by his previous statements after receiving new information from the Anambra State Government. He expressed that he always changes his position when new facts emerge. Okonkwo currently serves as the spokesman for the Presidential Campaign Council of ADC's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the 2027 election.
Okonkwo recalled that during the 2023 election campaign, he had assured Nigerians that Obi did not leave any debt, unpaid salaries, pensions, or gratuities when he left office. He emphasized that he had urged the public to verify his claims.
