Kenneth Okonkwo Resigns from Labour Party, Cites Leadership Crisis

Former spokesman for the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has officially announced his resignation from the party. Okonkwo stated that his resignation will take effect on February 25, 2025. In a statement, the Nollywood veteran expressed disappointment over the party’s internal conflicts and leadership challenges, which he believes have affected its effectiveness. He pledged to collaborate with other well-meaning Nigerians to promote good governance and national progress. “My involvement in politics is driven by the pursuit of good governance, and I remain committed to ensuring that Nigeria becomes a nation led by men of integrity. However, this vision is no longer achievable within the Labour Party as currently structured,” the statement read. Okonkwo added that his resignation coincides with the second anniversary of the 2023 presidential election and will allow him the freedom to work with like-minded individuals in charting a better future for Nigeria.
