His words:
"Nigerians are not going to succumb to the blackmail of vote-buyers, they are tired. The people that have been selling their votes before now, now they want their freedom.
"So money is not going to play a lot of influence on voters in 2023.
The Obidients have made up their minds that they will not give 'shishi' and will not accept 'shishi'".
Governors and other parties worried about the infiltration of Obidients in their camps
Asked whether members of the Peter Obi support group are enough to give the LP's presidential candidate the landslide victory he needs to emerge Nigeria's president, Okonkwo answered in the affirmative.
He said:
"Every Nigerian in Obidient, do not ask me; do not take my word for it. Take the words of Governor Obaseki who confessed that there are Obidients in his own family.
"Take the words of some spokespersons of the other parties who screamed that some of their staff are Obidient."
