Ookwo said: “When we started in 2023, it was an organic movement. Every Nigerian wanted change. Every Nigerian was not satisfied with the situation. So, we felt that something had just appeared on the horizon.

“And because I am a man who focuses on the security and welfare of the Nigerians, not a politician who is loyal to any political party, I am committed to the movement. Nothing makes me enter it.

“I followed the movement of my own will. So, when I was chosen to be a spokesperson, I respected him. Everyone knows what I was doing and the contribution I made.

“We did what we did, and we were sure we won the election. What happened after that? If you are a brilliant politician, what you have to do is start preparing and consolidating for 2027, and the first platform you start is your party.

“Obi is a comfort politician, not a politician of belief. No one kills his political career. Obi committed a political suicide. And I am serious.

“Every politician who knows what he is doing cannot be betrayed by anyone. If there are people who betray others, I can say firmly that Peter Obi betrayed me.”
