A former spokesperson for the Labour Party presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has resigned from the party.
Okonkwo made this known in a resignation statement he signed.
Okonkwo, who has before now been vocal in criticising the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Peter Obi, for not having what it takes to address the crisis in the party, cited internal and leadership crisis plaguing the party as his reasons for his resignation.
He added, “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.
“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.”
Okonkwo also said his resignation takes effect from February 25, and that he is open to joining a new political party.
“This resignation takes effect from February 25,2025, 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,” he added.
