Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has publicly disassociated himself from the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP) led by Julius Abure.
Okonkwo cited the alleged corruption and incompetence within the Abure-led NWC as the reasons for his decision.
On Tuesday, Okonkwo took to X (formerly Twitter) to denounce the national convention organized by Abure, describing it as tainted with criminality and corruption. He stated, “I am suspending my relationship in all ramifications with the purported Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party.”

He further elaborated on his stance: “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 organized by Abure.”
Reflecting on his political journey, Okonkwo said, “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.”
Okonkwo’s statement comes at a time when the Abure-led NWC has received the endorsement of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
