Popular Nigerian actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has just defected to the Labour Party -LP, after announcing his resignation as a member of the All-Progressive Party -APC, weeks before.
Previously, the veteran actor had declared that his resignation from APC was a result of the party’s decision to back the Muslim-Muslim ticket ahead of the 2023 presidential elections. Okonkwo made this announcement on his official Instagram page early Wednesday morning.
He had said: “It was an honor and a privilege to be welcomed into the Labour Party on the 23rd of August, 2022, at the Supreme God House, Apo, Abuja, by the whole executive of the FCT Labour Party, representing the National Executive of the Party,” he wrote.
The actor continued, “I feel loved and cherished by the visit of these distinguished officials of this people-centric Party to our Chambers which added up to me officially joining the Labour Party as a member.”
“This will help me to assist in my humble capacity to the enthronement of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023 for the good governance of our dear country which is so blessed by God but has been so battered by bad leaders. I thank the Dynamics Ambassadors for Peter Obi -DAPO, of which I am its National Spokesperson, for facilitating my membership of the Labour Party for the enthronement of good governance in Nigeria.” Okonkwo then went on to add.
“I ask all citizens of Nigeria to join in this movement for the actualization of this divine mandate of Peter Obi come 2023”, Okonkwo finished.
