Kenneth Okonkwo Speaks On His Next Destination After Dumping Labour Party
Kenneth Okonkwo, the former spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, stated on Tuesday that he has not yet decided on his next political move.
He explained that he is carefully searching for a party that prioritizes the welfare of Nigerians. Okonkwo made this revelation during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“I have not made a decision on the party I want to go to. And if I do not see any party that has clear direction on the welfare of the Nigerian people, I will sit and take it up in prayers.
“I will not join any party except to my own understanding,” he finally stated.
Okonkwo’s statement followed his earlier announcement of resigning from the Labour Party, where he expressed that the party, in its current form, is effectively non-existent.
The lawyer also criticized the National Chairman of the LP, Julius Abure, accusing him of focusing on personal interests rather than the party’s well-being.
During the live program, Okonkwo stated that all members of the LP are responsible for the crisis within its leadership, suggesting that the situation could have been avoided if members had united to tackle the fundamental issues causing the turmoil.
He said, “The indecisiveness of what happened in the Labour Party was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and I blame everybody, including myself. We must all take collective responsibility for the anarchy in the Labour Party.
“”When I was saying anarchy looms, we have not come to this level. We came to a level where we have a caretaker committee chosen by all the stakeholders of the Labour Party. Yet, you have another set of clowns claiming they are party leadership, and they will use all means to sustain themselves in power because they are looking out for their pockets.”
