FOUR REASONS I WANT KENNETH OKONKWO TO BE ONE OF THE SPOKEPERSONS OF @PeterObi and @NgLabour

1. He has consistently detected the pitfalls journalists build when asking questions. You may not understand how important this is if you're not used to logic and argument.
#PeterObi
Presenters do build "Strawman" opinions, hasty generalisation, false dilemma and other fallacies to trap unaware speakers into accepting what actually is not right.

Take for example if I ask you, "What do you have to say to the toxic behaviours of OBIdients?"
#PeterObi2023
If you're not careful you will fall the main trap which is accepting that all/only OBIdients are toxic. It's not starting with "why, how", it is first in showing that that assertion is not correct. No other person have done this perfectly like Barr Kenneth Okonkwo @realkenokonkwo
2. He's studies well for his interviews.

From being factual with the constitution of the party, to the achievements of Mr Peter Obi as Governor, to the failures of APC vis-a-vis his position even when he was there.

You can't listen to @realkenokonkwo and not give him that
credit of vast engagement with information. You cannot listen to him and not hear something different and factual he had not said before.

3. He's energetic and passionate about the information he shares. You can listen to him severally and not be bored. I am always in love with his rhetorics and lyrical pattern. Listening to him, time is not as long as it seems. You can see how he holds the presenters in sway.
4. He has a high regard for Mr Peter Obi and the Labour Party. He's never caught speaking as a layman who is uninformed of the parties position or activities. Especially when defending PO, he is very sharp, direct and articulate; speaking as one conversant with the Principal.
Only Datti has come close by my judgement on this.

Ethnicity is not a strong reason to not appoint him. At least, Mr Bwala Daniel @BwalaDaniel is from the North alongside Atiku yet appointed days into joining PDP.

If the Church had obeyed Scriptures, we will not be where we are today.

In 1 Corinthians 5, Apostle Paul admonished the believer to not keep company, associate or fellowship with "another believer" who is a reviler.

Emphasis on "another believer".
1 Cor 5:9, 11, NLT
When I wrote to you before, I told you not to associate with people who indulge in sexual sin.

I meant that you are not to associate with anyone WHO CLAIMS TO BE A BELIEVER YET ...is GREEDY ...or is ABUSIVE... or CHEATS PEOPLE. Don’t even eat with such people.
Have we obeyed this today? No, we teach and do the exact opposite. This is why ethnicity, political affiliation and all forms of allegiance had brought us to our knees.

If genuinely we will dissociate from these fellows as a "holy lump", they will not find a breathing space.

LET'S BEG OUR SOUTH EASTERN FRIENDS

1. There is a difference between a Yoruba supporting Tinubu and an Igbo supporting Peter Obi ON THE BASES OF ETHNICITY. To Tinubu, it's most likely because of ethnic bias, but for PO, it goes more into a call for equity, fairness and inclusion
2. It is no news that the presidency have not been ceded to the South East since 1999 by the (two) misruling, major parties; not that the candidates failed in the general elections but that they have been unable to clinch the ticket in their respective parties.
3. If you ask me "whose fault"?

Well, I will not dwell on this because an average Nigerian is aware of the mirages of evil that take place during party primaries- especially the misruling ones.

PETER OBI FULL SPEECH AT THE PALACE OF THE OONI OF IFE

1. He promised to be back during campaign for full itemization of his agenda. This was supposed to be a very private visit but OBIdients no gree
@PeterObi @OoniAdimulaIfe @NgLabour @labourpartyife

#PeterObiForPresident
2. Obi is interested in the history of Ile-Ife getting as many attention as the West's. With his presidency, Ile-Ife is set to become a tourist centre of attraction. He mentioned how as a young undergraduate, he came visiting OAU to behold the then incomparable beauty.
3. As usual, Obi analyzed how the government could have solved the ASUU strike by demonstrating his vast knowledge of the situation. This man means we'll for this nation, I tell you most sincerely.
