Actor Nollywood and Labor Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council spokesman Kenneth Okonkwo reacted with the insinuation that he confirmed a leaked conversation between Peter Obi and the founder. Living Faith Church David Oyedepo.
We report that Okonkwo released a statement on Sunday saying the opposition was working to turn the conversation between the former Anambra governor and the cleric into a religious statement.
While confirming that the former Governor spoke to the Bishop, Kenneth clarified that Obi was only calling on the Bishop to help spread the message of equal participation of all Nigerians in the project. added that Obi never discriminated against any religion as his running mate, Datti-Baba Ahmed is a Muslim.
However, in a statement via Instagram on Tuesday, Okonkwo said his earlier statement does not confirm, acknowledge or deny the leaked chat.
He maintained speculation that he was confirming the audio clip was the words of the propagandists, indicating that he was merely analyzing the content of the conversation. According to him, the Party is more interested in regaining its powers from the courts and ushering in a new Nigeria.
He said:
“I don’t normally respond to the tweets and chats of ignorant men like a lot of people have been issuing out since the purported audio tape was released by whoever but this may keep them perpetually ignorant.
“Let me educate their ignorance. Go back and read my chat or tweet and check whether you will see confirmation or admission or denial. Those are their words and that of their propagandists, not mine. I simply analyzed the contents of the conversation and found absolutely nothing wrong with it. It’s immaterial whether it is anybody’s voice or not. Not that I care whether anybody said I confirmed or not, that’s their business.
“I am rather full of joy that before long, we will recover our mandate that will usher in a new Nigeria. Keep faith alive my friends, God is in control. Love you all”
