Just In: Kenneth Okonkwo Resigns Membership from Labour Party, Cites Internal Crisis

Kenneth Okonkwo, the former spokesperson for the Labour Party’s presidential campaign council, has resigned from the party.

He said, “This resignation takes effect from the 25th of February, 2025, after which I will be at liberty to join other well meaning, and like minded Nigerians.”

In his resignation statement, he noted that internal conflicts and leadership challenges have affected the LP.

The statement reads: “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.

“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.

“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.”
