Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, has dumped the party.

Okonkwo left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for LP in 2022.

Lately, he has been critical of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the LP led by the chairman of the party, Julius Abure

In June 2024, he described the party as “a secret society led by a group of clowns”, adding that he could not rule out defecting

‘Stop Demarketing Peter Obi, Labour Party’, LP Directorate Tells NLC Transition Committee

In a statement via his X handle, he specifically blamed the party’s presidential candidate for the last election, Peter Obi, and the crisis rocking the party, for his decision.

According to him, Obi did not do enough to build the party and solve its leadership crisis.

The Nollywood actor turned politician said: “He (Peter Obi) just needed to give the right directives and everyone will fall in line. I received my first shock when he publicly declared that he didn’t promise Nigerians to build a strong Labour Party, but to solve Nigeria’s problems.

“I was like, does it mean Peter Obi is not aware that without a solid party base, we are heading to nowhere politically? However, I continued in his defence believing he will still privately bring the needed solution to LP problems but to no avail.

“PO also publicly demanded that the Abure-led National Working Committee must organise an all-inclusive convention that will guarantee the participation of all members of the Labour Party in the choice of their leaders.

“This didn’t happen, and surprisingly, PO refused to disassociate himself from the shenanigans and criminal activities of the former NWC as their time had expired.

“Every member of the Labour Party is confused today as to the future of the Labour Party because of lack of leadership from PO over the party, and unfortunately, when they look up to me to tell them about PO’s standpoint, I sincerely have nothing to tell them because I don’t know myself.

“I cannot continue to speak on behalf of a leader that I do not know his stand on issues of great importance. I simply don’t know how to manipulate facts.”

He already hinted at dumping labour party a couple of weeks ago.

Reverse is the case here. It is Obi that dumped him. Kenneth is a hungry political jobber.

Summary: Peter Obi lacks leadership skills, and he (Kenneth Okonkwo) has NO confidence in him (Peter Obi) to build a party that can wrestle power from APC or PDP.

Obi has said it countlessly that he's not desperate to be President. What's even wrong with Tinubu minions 😂

See what's trending. Leave Obi alone and face your Northern friends

Kenneth just opened his eyes, na wetin we dey talk all along.

Peter Obi and his followers don’t see the bigger picture, dem just dey play politics like children.

This one no be surprise, na who dem go blame if not themselves for following a mirage.

I know Kenneth won't last where integrity matters.

A typical Igbo man cannot be loyal to another Igbo man for a reasonable period of time. They are impatient and think fighting can solve every problem, without proper planning and ensuring they have the needed arsenal to prosecute the fight.

No unconditional loyalty.
No patience
No calculated step to do something

Peter Obi is a useless man.

I hope you have stocked up on food supplies to last you through the protest. Gladly Kenneth Okonkwo supports the protest too while kicking Peter Obi to the curb

One would think Tinupoo that you defend for crumbs would have turned things around...but even buhari is now looking like a genius.

Apc only Sabi politics but not good governance? Useless party

Na wa o! This one shock me.

Kenneth don finally see the light. Peter Obi dey make people dey run from him like say na fire. Who go fit follow person wey no get direction?

Agbado your people are crying ebinpawa

Well done Kenneth. It took you some time but better late than never. That agulu man was of no good to begin with. Thanking God for making you break your Obidient cult slave chain.

This man was once your hero until he dumped the agulu fraud. 😂

Peter Obi was also some people's hero till he dumped them.

That's politics for you. He can go to APC if he so wishes. If he dares to attack Peter Obi, Obidients are coming for him

Okay

Whoever is not supporting Obi again is hungry, whoever is supporting Obi is standing for the truth.

Enu dun rofo - very easy to cook stewed vegetable soup with mouth. You can't do anything to him even if he attacks Peter obi, all your Obidient mob activities nor go pass insults and throwing tantrums on social media like petulant children.

But he jumped to LP overnight after finding out that he has no hope of winning in PDP.

More useless than p in psychology

Nobody except worthless bia-fraudians

Obidients are the Black Version of Adolf Hitler's Nazis.

They are dangerously hostile

From the day Kenneth Okonkwo declared that "Honesty is the Best Policy" as the spokesman for the LP during the Yes Daddy Religious War Scandal we knew he couldn't last in the LP

He was too decent to dwell with Gbajues

A man who insists on telling the Truth even when it doesn't favour him cannot last there

He dumps peter obi and labour party?

Hope he is not going back to APC? That will be likened to a dog going back to its vomit.

Politicians do so anyway..

Listen to yourself...

You no wan fvck toto. Wetin naked woman come dey do on top your bed?

Hmm..

He made some points sha. Anybody that’s in his shoe is most likely going to do something similar..

He summarily concluded that Obi is not worthy of being a leader by some of the things he did within Lp... It’s something we know tho. Lamba Nanu nah Political boy. If not for Ojukwu, he wouldn’t have been a Governor..

Hope Uzodinma, Dave Umahi has a better shot at presidency than Obi..

Where do you think he would go?
Even Obi is drawing back his plan to Pdp..

Peter dumped APGA and PDP and he will dump LP sooner than later.
