The presidential candidate of Labour party Mr Peter Obi on his X handle @peterobi reacts to Bar Kenneth Okonkwo’s aired opinion on the skirmishes in Labour party..
Peter Obi also warns the public over insults abusive words and negative remarks towards Kenneth Okonkwo..
He further said that Kenneth remains his beloved brother and trusted ally, who stood for him through thick and thin; his loyalty and commitment cannot be overstated or diminished.
Disagreements and differing opinions are a natural part of any group, society or movement, and it is essential to maintain a level of respect and decorum even when they disagree.
Peter Obi also stated that having differing views does not make someone an enemy, and it is crucial to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to personal attacks or negative remarks.
He stated empathetically , “I don’t want to work with anyone who always agrees with me” because as a leader, ” learning and listening are critical components of leadership”. He said he wants to listen to those who have different opinions and try to convince them otherwise or take their advice if it is better.
He therefore urge all believers of a New Nigeria to remain strong, resilient and focused, and to refrain from discouragement or negative remarks towards Bar Kenneth Okonkwo or anyone who leaves or disagrees with his views, strategies or tactics.
In his response he said his message is clear and simple: unity, respect and civility must prevail, even in the face of disagreement and variance.
