Renowned Nigerian actor turned staunch politician had categorically reiterated that he is still a member of the Nigerian Labour Party, LP.
Recall that the former Labour Party, LP, campaign spokesperson severed ties politically with Peter Obi in July, saying he had lost confidence in the party’s 2023 presidential candidate.
This led to several rumours among Nigerians who believed and insinuated that Kenneth Okonkwo would leave the Labour Party after severing ties with Peter Obi.
However, on the contrary, while speaking in an interview with Soar TV on Saturday, Okonkwo affirmed his membership in the LP, adding that he continues to advocate for the party’s consolidation.
“When I was a spokesman in 2023, I did my job credibly well, and we convinced Nigerians on what we believe is right. But you can see that in Nigeria, you not only have to have the power to win election, you have to have the power to defend your election.
“So, anybody that does not have that spirit or power to defend the votes in a manner that you would say, whatever happens to me as a person, let it happen, I am not willing to speak any further for the person.
“I am not betraying anybody because I am still a member of the Labour Party and you can see I’m still fighting that the Labour Party should be consolidated because Nigerians are looking for alternatives.”
