In a recent development, Lawyer and spokesperson for the labour party Presidential Campaign Council in last year’s general election, Kenneth Okonkwo, has berated the leadership of the Labour Party for charging N30m as the nomination form fee for aspirants interested in the party’s ticket for the forthcoming Edo State governorship election.
Okonkwo, in a short statement today via his X account, said fixing such a high amount is insensitive and ill-advised of the party.
He argued that the Labour Party is meant to be a party for ordinary workers and Nigerians, but fixing such an amount for its nomination fee is simply excessive, objectionable, and unacceptable.
The Labour Party chieftain urged his party to retrace its steps so it will not be seen as towing the lines of what he called the failed and corrupt All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
