Kenneth Okonkwo, former spokesman for the Labour Party’s presidential in campaign, has left the party and parted ways with its former presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
In a statement on social media, Okonkwo cited internal crises within the party and Obi’s failure to address them as his reasons for leaving. Okonkwo emphasized his commitment to building a Nigeria based on equity, justice, and fairness. He criticized both major political parties, APC and PDP, for their leadership failures and called for a new political direction.
Okonkwo stressed the need for a decisive leader to build a party of integrity from the grassroots. He said that his departure from the Labour Party is based on principles, not personal reasons, and he remains dedicated to the Nigerian people’s aspirations.
