Nollywood actor and Labour Party chieftain, Kenneth Okonkwo, has called out both Peter Obi and the Edo State Governor, accusing Obi of being too quiet and overly public with his charity efforts.
Kenneth Okonkwo, a popular actor and political figure, has sparked a heated conversation after openly criticizing Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, over his silence in the face of recent threats from the Edo State Governor, Sunday Okpebholo.
Speaking in frustration, Okonkwo said,
“Peter Obi needs to up his game. He’s being too quiet for these people. How can Edo Governor threaten him and he just keeps mute?”
He further pointed to a similar incident involving the Benue State Governor, where Obi reportedly also stayed silent. This, according to Okonkwo, is not a good political strategy.
But he didn’t stop there. The actor-turned-politician also criticized the way Peter Obi handles his charity works, claiming it appears too loud and unnecessary.
“I don’t like how he does his charity openly. I personally prefer to do mine silently.”
The comments have generated mixed reactions on social media. While some Nigerians agreed with Kenneth’s call for Obi to be more assertive, others believe Obi’s calm nature is part of his appeal and strength.
Still, Okonkwo’s bold words have brought fresh fire to the political conversation, especially as tensions rise ahead of 2027.
