A Former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, Kenneth Okonkwo has resigned his membership of the party.
Gatekeepers News reports that Okonkwo disclosed this a resignation statement he personally signed.
He said the LP has been afflicted by internal and leadership crises.
“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 said he is open to pitching his political tent elsewhere.
“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.
Okonkwo said the tenure of the party’s leadership had long elapsed and the caretaker committee set up to salvage the party has been hindered by unnecessary litigation.
He criticised Julius Abure, national chairman of the LP, for allegedly prioritising personal interests over the party’s survival.
