The Labour Party, LP, has described Kenneth Okonkwo as a mole, saying his exit from the party was not a surprise.
The Party said that Okonkwo’s attack on its 2023
presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was unfortunate and attention-seeking.
Recall that Okonkwo, a chieftain of the LP, on
Sunday, said he no longer had confidence in the ability of Obi to build a party
that can win elections.
According to the actor-turned politician, Obi has proved
that even if the people vote for him, he does not have what it takes to secure
the mandate.
He added that the recent happenings in the party have
inspired him to make a determination to chart a new course for his political
journey.
Responding, the National Publicity Secretary of the LP,
Obiora Ifoh, in a statement, said Okonkwo’s resignation from the party did not
come as a surprise.
Ifoh said the party viewed Okonkwo’s criticism of Obi as
unfortunate and attention-seeking.
“Kenneth Okonkwo’s resignation from the Labour Party didn’t
come to us as a surprise. We also think that his attack on the party’s leader,
Peter Obi, is rather unfortunate
“However, we will continue not to dignify him with any
response, as we understand that his attention-craving attitude knows no
bounds,” he said.
According to the LP spokesperson, the party remained
committed to supporting Obi as its 2027 presidential candidate.
