Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent chieftain within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has disclosed that he strongly cautioned Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), against making the move to join the party.
In a post shared on his official X handle this Friday, the actor-turned-politician explained that he warned Obi that defecting from the ADC would reduce him to nothing more than a “mobile squatter” within the NDC.
“I told Obi that if he left ADC, he would become a mobile squatter in NDC,” Okonkwo stated.
According to Okonkwo, recent comments made by Seriake Dickson, the national leader of the NDC, have only served to validate his earlier warnings.
“The interview by Seriake Dickson, the Supreme Leader of the NDC, over the past two days confirmed my fears,” he noted.
Highlighting the perceived power dynamics within the new party, Okonkwo referenced Dickson’s remarks, stating, “He told people that if they think registering a party is easy, they should go and register theirs. Sorry, squatters do not have rights and privileges in the landlord’s house.”
Concluding his critique, the ADC chieftain asserted that the current role of Obi and his supporters within the NDC has effectively become one of “unquestioning servitude to the ‘Supreme Leader.’”
