Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Organisation, has left the party.
Okonkwo, who joined the LP in 2022, announced his decision in a statement on his X handle.
He cited the party’s failure to inspire the kind of leadership needed to address Nigeria’s challenges as his reason for leaving.
Okonkwo also expressed disappointment that the LP’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, did not do enough to strengthen the party and resolve its leadership issues.
“I no longer have confidence that Peter Obi has what it takes to build a party capable of defeating these kakistocrats and kleptocrats. Even if people vote for him, he has shown he cannot secure the mandate,” he said.
