Kenneth Okonkwo, Nollywood actor and former presidential campaign spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, has expressed dissatisfaction with recent developments within the party.
Okonkwo, who joined the Labour Party after leaving the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2022, described the LP as “a secret society led by a group of clowns.”
In a recent interview on Symfoni, Okonkwo stated that he is unimpressed by the party’s inability to capitalize on internal crises in other political parties and its failure to hold an acceptable national convention.
He revealed that he was unaware of the party’s convention until he saw it on social media, initially thinking it was fake.
Okonkwo stated, “Any party that is not visibly committed to the welfare of Nigerians will most likely not see me there. I don’t rule out going back to anything because change is constant,” he said.
“My own labour party is not impressing me. Assuming they continue on this trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention, then you’d tell me I’d be there?
“I was a spokesperson at the presidential level and I did not know that the Labour Party was having a convention. When I saw it on social media, I thought it was fake. They were rejected in Umuahia because it was a leprous convention.
“Those people are clowns. It is the greatest joke I have ever seen in a political party and then you want to position yourself as a party of integrity. You cannot give what you don’t have.
“Aburi and his cohorts, their tenure is over. Let Aburi 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,” he added.
