Kenneth Okonkwo Leaves Labour Party Under Abure’s Leadership

Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has announced he is suspending his relationship with the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP). Okonkwo emphasized that his priority is building a new Nigeria, stating he would rather lose while doing the right thing than win by doing the wrong thing.

Okonkwo, who served as the spokesperson for the Labour Party Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council in the 2023 election, made his announcement on his X account on Tuesday. He criticized the current NWC under Abure, comparing it to the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he left due to its incompetence and corruption.

He condemned the national convention organized by Abure, calling it an act of criminality and corruption. His post reads:

“I am suspending my relationship in all ramifications with the purported Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party. For me, it’s either a new Nigeria or nothing. I prefer to lose doing the right thing than win doing the wrong thing. Nothing can wash out the criminality, corruption, and incompetence with which the purported National Convention was purportedly organized by Abure.

I did not leave the comfort of a ruling party, APC, because I believe that they are incompetent and dishonest, only to come and join another incompetent and corrupt association, which is the current Abure-led National Working Committee of the Labour Party.”
