Veteran Nollywood actor and former spokesperson for the Labour Party’s Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has announced his resignation from the party, citing internal conflicts and leadership challenges.
In a statement released on Monday, Okonkwo disclosed that his resignation would take effect from February 25, 2025. He expressed gratitude for his time with the Labour Party but emphasized his desire to seek political alliances with Nigerians who share his vision for good governance and national progress.
Okonkwo, a prominent political advocate, played a crucial role in the party’s presidential campaign, contributing to its growing influence in national politics.
“My entrance into 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 stated.
Okonkwo lamented that the party was no longer functional, making it difficult for him to continue his political journey under its platform.
“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,” he added.
His resignation date coincides with the second anniversary of the 2023 presidential election, a move he said symbolizes a new beginning for his political future.
