Okonkwo Mocks Obi, Others Over Makinde Campaign Office Event

Kenneth Okonkwo, spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has criticised Peter Obi and other politicians who attended the inauguration of Governor Seyi Makinde’s presidential campaign office in Abuja.

Speaking during an interview on News Central, Okonkwo said the ADC’s absence from the event was because it considered the inauguration an affair of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

“As far as I’m concerned, that is an APM affair and it should be attributed to APM,” Okonkwo said.

He also mocked Obi and other attendees, suggesting that some politicians readily attend public events whenever they receive invitations.

“Those people that were there — even if you had invited them for naming ceremony or birthday party — they are known for people who like to wave to people,” Okonkwo said.

He added, “Even if there’s no crowd, they will still be waving to trees. It’s just normal for them. If you’re doing anything and you call them they will come.”
