Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has publicly distanced himself from the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP), citing corruption and incompetence as his primary reasons.
In a candid post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Okonkwo expressed his disapproval of the recent national convention organized by Abure, describing it as marred by “criminality and corruption.”
“I am suspending my relationship in all ramifications with the purported Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party,” Okonkwo stated.
He emphasized his commitment to integrity and his vision for a better Nigeria, adding, “For me, it’s either a new Nigeria or nothing. I prefer to lose doing the right thing to winning doing the wrong thing.”
Okonkwo, who previously left the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to similar concerns, reiterated his stance on honesty and competence in political leadership.
“I did not leave the comfort of a ruling party, APC, because I believe that they are incompetent and dishonest, only to come and join another incompetent and corrupt association, which is the current Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party,” he explained.
