Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, has resigned his membership of the party, citing internal and leadership crises.

Okonkwo, who served as the LP campaign spokesperson in the 2023 presidential election, announced his resignation in a statement on Monday, expressing disappointment in the party’s current state.

“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.

He added that due to leadership disputes within the LP, the party has become “non-existent”, making it impossible for him to continue his political journey there.

“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-turned-politician hinted at joining another political movement, stating that his resignation takes effect on February 25, 2025—the second anniversary of the 2023 presidential election.

“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.”
