Veteran Nollywood Actor Kenneth Okonkwo Announced Parting Ways With Peter Obi
Veteran Nollywood actor and legal practitioner, Kenneth Okonkwo has dumped the Labour Party.
Okonkwo, one of the spokespersons for the Labour Party presidential campaign council in the 2023 elections, also announced he is parting ways with 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 myself to his campaign, now that I can not guarantee my support for his future aspirations, I believe I owe it to everyone to let everyone know.
”With this declaration, I am free to embark on negotiation and consultation with every like-minded people to determine the next step in my political journey, which does not include joining APC or PDP for now, but includes, and not limited to the consolidation of Labour Party.
”We need a solid political party with a solid grassroots base to be able to wrestle 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.”
