‘I am still full-fledged member of Labour Party’ – Kenneth Okonkwo

Kenneth Okonkwo, a veteran Nollywood actor and politician, has refuted rumours that he left the Labour Party.

Okonkwo declared that he is still an official party member.

During his Tuesday speech on Arise Television’s Prime Time program, he made this claim.

“First of all, let me say I am embarrassed by your comment. I am just hearing it from your media station that I dumped the Labour Party. And I put up the statement that I made so that I wouldn’t be misconstrued. So, where did you get that from? It’s not certainly from the statement that I made. I am still a full-fledged member of the Labour Party,” he stated.

When asked if he’s still a member of the Labour Party, he replied in the affirmative: “Yes, absolutely.”

Okonkwo continued: “There’s no crisis in the Labour Party as it relates to me. There’s crisis in the Labour Party as relates to the NWC, which failed to organise an all-inclusive convention. And I thought that the leader ought to have taken a decisive decision to ensure, having seen that the convention did not hold against his instruction, that there’s an organised and all-inclusive convention according to court judgement and past agreement.”

Chieftain of the Labour Party Okonkwo has declared his intention to sever relations with both the party and presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi, citing faults with Obi’s leadership style and lack of competence to address national issues.

Additionally, he doubted Obi’s capacity to win elections and take on the nation’s “kleptocrats” and “kakistocrats” head-on.

The veteran actor stressed that in order to realise his vision for Nigeria, he needed a leader who was more decisive, audacious, fearless, honest, and team-oriented.
