Kenneth Okonkwo Speaks on LP Leadership, Calls for Julius Abure’s Arrest

Popular Nollywood actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has said that he cannot rule out decamping to another political party if the Labour Party (LP) continues on a “trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention.”

During a recent interaction with the media, Okonkwo, who served as the spokesperson for the presidential campaign of the LP during the 2023 elections, characterized the LP as “a clandestine organization governed by a bunch of clowns”.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the recent happenings within his party.

Okonkwo regretted that the LP lacked integrity to exploit the internal turmoil of other political parties.

He said and Quote “Abure and his cohorts, their tenure is over. Let Abure and his cohorts get behind me. They are workers of iniquity. I don’t rate them. That executive is in charge of the secret society. They should be apprehended.”

You would recall that Okonkwo dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2022, citing the party’s adoption of a Muslim-Muslim ticket for the 2023 presidential election.

A month later, he joined the LP and promised to help in actualising the presidential bid of Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra
