Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, has publicly criticized Peter Obi, stating he is indecisive and unfit for the presidency. Okonkwo claims that Obi betrayed him by filing a defamation lawsuit, contrasting Obi's actions with those of Atiku Abubakar. He announced the end of his relationship with Obi in July 2024 during an interview.

Kenneth Okonkwo has said that Datti Baba-Ahmed is suffering from a post-political identity crisis following his 2023 vice-presidential run alongside Peter Obi. According to Okonkwo, Baba-Ahmed's experience with Obi and the collapse of the political structure they ran on in 2023 may have affected his perception of the former Anambra State governor. The remarks were reported by Vanguard News in Nigeria.

Kenneth Okonkwo, spokesperson for African Democratic Congress presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, has defended the party's absence from the inauguration of a presidential campaign office linked to Governor Seyi Makinde, according to Naija News. His comments came amid discussion involving Peter Obi and the ADC's position within Nigeria's opposition politics ahead of future elections.

Datti Baba-Ahmed, Peter Obi's running mate in Nigeria's 2023 presidential election, said Obi moved out of his political comfort zone against his advice ahead of the 2027 election. According to Information Nigeria, Baba-Ahmed made the remarks during an interview on the MIC ON Podcast while responding to a question about what had changed in his perception of Obi.

Theo Abu Agada, Director of New Media and Strategic Communications of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged former Labour Party vice presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed to move on, stating that Peter Obi has already made his decision. The remarks were reported by Naija News, though the blurb does not specify what decision Obi made or the context of the dispute between the former running mates.
