Kenneth Okonkwo Reacts To Chimamanda’s Presence As Peter Obi Adopts Final Address Against Tinubu’s Victory

Nollywood actor and Labour Party (LP) chieftain, Kenneth Okonkwo has said the presence of the renowned author Chimamanda Adichie at the Presidential Election Petition Court would bring good fortune to the Peter Obi camp.

Naija News reports the novelist on Tuesday joined the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi; and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed at the Presidential Election Tribunal in Abuja.

Adichie attended the court hearing to witness the adoption of the final written addresses by the petitioners.

Obi is alleging that the presidential poll was rigged against him in about 18,088 polling units aside from alleged overvoting that took place in parts of the South West.

But the defendants had in their final written addresses, urged the court to strike out Obi’s petition for lacking in merit.

Parties will give oral arguments on their case, while the PEPC led by Justice Haruna Tsammani, would give judgement later.

In reaction to Adichie’s presence, Kenneth shared a photo of himself in his law attire with the award-winning writer.

He said he had no doubt the novelist’s presence would bring good fortune because her middle name Ngozi means ‘blessing’.

“We are seated now waiting for the Judges to come in. It’s great meeting the Queen of the books herself, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, in court. I have no doubt that her presence will bring us good fortune because Ngozi means blessing. May God answer our prayers,” he said.
