Omirhobo Blasts Kenneth Okonkwo, Calls Him ‘Political Harlot’ Over Spokesman Role

Human Rights Lawyer Chief Malcolm Omirhobo has accused former actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo of lacking integrity and abandoning his principles.

In a statement on Saturday, two days after Mr Okonkwo was appointed the Spokesman of Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC, Omirhobo said that accepting the role from “a man you have described as corrupt and who is widely perceived to have sold national assets to himself, his cronies, friends, and associates for peanuts” exposes a lack of integrity.

According to him, Okonkwo’s decision to publicly celebrate the appointment and even hold a thanksgiving service demonstrates how low, self-serving, and lacking in principle” he has become.

“It shows that you are just a political harlot. It shows that you are a stomach infrastructure politician,” Omirhobo said.

Okonkwo has been receiving a lot of backlash following his appointment and fallout with Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
