Popular Nollywood actor and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has distanced himself from the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP).
While distancing himself from the NWC, Okonkwo said he couldn’t continue with a corrupt and incompetent NWC led by Abure.
In a recent post on X, Okonkwo strongly condemned the national convention organized by Abure, describing it as rife with criminality and corruption.
The post read: “I am suspending my relationship in all ramifications with the purported Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party.
“For me, it’s either a new Nigeria or nothing. I prefer to lose doing the right thing to winning doing the wrong thing.
“Nothing can wash out the criminality, corruption, and incompetence with which the purported National Convention was purportedly organised by Abure.
“I did not leave the comfort of a ruling party, APC, because I believe that they are incompetent and dishonest, only to come and join another incompetent and corrupt association, which is the current Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party.”
This came amid the endorsement of the Abure-led NWC by the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
