“If Obi Wants To Be Vice President of Atiku Abubarkar, He Better Do It Alone And Not With Me”. – Kenneth Okonkwo
The spokesperson for Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential race, Kenneth Okonkwo, has acknowledged that talks to merge with other political parties are underway. Nevertheless, Okonkwo insisted that, should the merger succeed, Peter Obi will not serve as vice president of any party.
This was disclosed by Kenneth Okonkwo in a Channels Television interview. “If Peter Obi wants to be the vice president of Atiku Abubakar, he better do it alone and not with me,” Kenneth Okonkwo stated during the interview.
“Yes, I am serious about it. Why am I saying so? A man is approaching 80 years and he is talking of election. By the year 2027, how old will he (Atiku Abubakar) be? Do you know what Wole Soyinka said? He said when I went to Aso Rock, I told the president that I had told you not to run. It was based on age, it was nothing personal.
“Babangida said he will prefer anybody younger. You are saying that after our fight in 2023, and Peter Obi had a chance of becoming a Vice President and he did not become a Vice President and in 2027, he will now go back when the man (Atiku Abubakar) has degenerated more in age and capacity, he will now go back and become Vice President?What will I tell Nigerians?”
