Kenneth Okonkwo, the former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) during the 2023 presidential campaign, has officially announced his resignation from the party.
Okonkwo cited ongoing internal struggles and leadership issues within the party as the main reasons for his decision.
In his resignation statement, Okonkwo shared that he entered politics with the goal of promoting good governance but has found that this is no longer achievable within the current framework of the Labour Party.
“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,” he added.
Kenneth Okonkwo, also a lawyer and renowned Nollywood actor, reassured his supporters and the Nigerian public of his continued commitment to the nation’s future, stating that he remains open to exploring new political paths.
“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 said.
