BREAKING: Kenneth Okonkwo Leaves Labour Party, Parts Ways with Peter Obi

Veteran Nollywood actor and legal practitioner, Kenneth Okonkwo, has left the Labour Party. Okonkwo, who served as one of the spokespersons for the Labour Party presidential campaign council in the 2023 elections, also announced his separation from Peter Obi, the party’s presidential candidate.

He said in a statement:

“I have decided to continue my political journey into the great Nigeria of our vision without Peter Obi. I am always 100% loyal to a leader wherever I am working or following the leader. At any time I have doubts and can no longer offer 100% loyalty to him, I will respectfully let him know.

“When I joined his campaign, now that I cannot guarantee my support for his future aspirations, I believe I owe it to everyone to let them know.

“With this declaration, I am free to embark on negotiation and consultation with every like-minded person to determine the next step in my political journey, which does not include joining APC or PDP for now, but includes, and is not limited to, the consolidation of the Labour Party.

“We need a solid political party with a strong grassroots base to wrest power from these kakistocrats and kleptocrats.

“We, therefore, need a decisive leader who will be able to build such a party of integrity and character from the grassroots because, eventually, the majority of the people that will populate a government will proceed from the political party of the leader.”
