The appearance of the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi at Chatham House in the United Kingdom on Monday projected Nigeria as a pride of the black race and the giant of Africa.
LP spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme hours after the party’s flag bearer discussed his plans at Chatham House, a world-leading policy institute and think-tank forum.
According to him, Obi went to Chatham House to tell the world about a new Nigeria that is about to unfold, about security solutions and uniting Nigeria.
Okonkwo also said Obi was so “stingy” that he refused to “share” answers to questions directed to him during the appearance.
“His (Obi’s) appearance today (Monday) at Chatham House is not just an appearance that will further Labour Party or further his candidacy but his appearance has projected Nigeria as a pride of the black race, has projected Nigeria for what it is; the giant of Africa,” Okonkwo stated.
“I’m so proud of my principal who was so stingy that he went to Chatham House and refuse to share questions; he was answering the questions, in contradiction to the generous APC candidate who went there and shared the questions for other people to answer.”
