Labour Party crisis: Peter Obi’s strong ally declares intention to return to APC, gives reason

Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), says he is not impressed by recent developments in the party.

Okonkwo, who was a presidential campaign spokesperson for the party in the 2023 election, described the LP as “a group of clowns”.

As reported by The Cable, he added that the party lacks the integrity to take advantage of the internal crisis in other parties.

Speaking in an interview on Symfoni, a news platform, Okonkwo said he will not rule out rejoining another party if the LP continues on a “trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention”.

The Okonkwo also said that it is time for the security agencies to go in and apprehend Julius Abure and his “so-called National Executive Committee members” insisting that their tenures had long expired.

Okonkwo, a lawyer, also described the purported convention Abure and his cohorts conducted in Nnewi, Anambra state, as a nullity, as it didn’t follow the procedures the law prescribed.

In a similar development, TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that Wole Soyinka heavily criticised Peter Obi and the Labour Party supporters, Obidients.

The Nobel Laureate described Obi and his team as incompetent, noting they have nothing good to offer Nigeria.

Speaking further during a recent interview, Soyinka claimed Obi encouraged ‘obidients’ to attack him and others with opposing views online.
