Kenneth Okonkwo, former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, has announced his resignation from the party, citing internal and leadership crises.
Okonkwo, who played a key role in the LP’s 2023 presidential campaign, expressed disappointment over the state of the party, stating that it no longer aligns with his vision for good governance.
“My entrance to politics is for good governance, and I will continue to work for it to ensure that Nigeria becomes a great country of incorruptible men. This aim can no longer be realised within Labour Party as presently constituted,” he said.
“Since the party is non-existent as presently constituted, I am constrained to resign my membership of the party to all Nigerians of goodwill who supported us when we needed them most and to pledge my continued loyalty to the Nigerian people in all I will decide to do in my political future.”
The Nollywood actor also hinted at joining another political platform that shares his ideals.
“This resignation takes effect from the 25th of February, 2025, which marks the second anniversary of the presidential election of 2023, after which I will be at liberty to join other well-meaning, and like-minded Nigerians in charting a great future of good governance for this great country blessed by God,” he added.
His exit adds to the growing concerns over the stability of the Labour Party, which has been embroiled in internal wrangling since the 2023 elections.
