A former spokesman for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has officially announced his resignation from the party.
In a statement, Okonkwo revealed that his resignation would take effect on February 25, 2025, marking the second anniversary of Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election. He cited ongoing internal conflicts and leadership challenges within the Labour Party as the key reasons for his decision.
The Nollywood actor and political activist expressed his commitment to good governance and stated that his goal of contributing to the nation’s development could no longer be pursued within the current structure of the Labour Party. Okonkwo further vowed to work alongside other like-minded Nigerians to advance the cause of good governance in the country.
Okonkwo’s resignation is seen as a significant move, as he has been an outspoken figure within Nigerian politics, advocating for a better future for the nation.
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.
“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.”
