Good Riddance To Okonkwo; He’s A Mole, Smuggled Self Into Labour Party

The Labour party, LP, has described Kenneth Okonkwo’s exit from the party as a good riddance to to bad rubbish, saying one of the spokespersons to the 2023 Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign was a mole who smuggled himself into the party.

The LP said other moles in the party will soon be offloaded in due course, saying “today, it is the turn of Mr. Okonkwo, a former member of APC, who smuggled himself into the presidential campaign, and his destination is already known to us.”

The magazine reported that Okonkwo, a lawyer left the party at the weekend citing the failure on the part of Peter Obi, the 2023 Presidential candidate of the party to provide leadership.

Okonkwo had said in a statement on his X handle that he lost confidence in Obi after he failed to call the LP leadership to order in their quest to destroy the party.

Reacting the party in a statement signed by Obiora Ifoh, its

National Publicity Secretary described Okonkwo and others who have left the party as “political jesters and jobbers whose stomach are their gods,” saying the LP will not be distracted  by their decisions to abandon the party.

According to the party, their actions will not detract Obi from realising his quest to become president in the next election slated for 2027, saying the trust Nigerians have in the former Anambra state governor still remains intact.

Below the LP statement: 

Kenneth Okonkwo’s resignation from the Labour Party didn’t come to us as a surprise. We also think that his attack on the party’s leader, Peter Obi is rather unfortunate however we will continue not to dignify him with any response as we understand that his attention craving attitude knows no bound.

If you recall, recently a former Director General of the party’s presidential campaign organisation resigned and rejoined the APC. Only last week, a former deputy Director General of the presidential campaign organisation also resigned and rejoined the APC. Today, it is the turn of Mr. Okonkwo, a former member of APC, who smuggled himself into the presidential campaign, and his destination is already known to us.

Needless to say that Nigeria is not in want of political jesters and jobbers whose stomach are their gods. Labour Party is not perturbed by his decision to move on and in fact, we wish him well in his future endeavours, whether in acting, law practice, politics or otherwise.

We also wish to note here, that the party is aware of a few other persons who are planted as moles, who are presently instigating crisis within the party, and who have unsuccessfully attempted to hijack the party for the use of their paymasters. We urge them to act fast and do the needful before they are exposed and fumigated out of the party.

Labour Party is keeping to its decision to stand with Peter Obi as its leader and presidential hopefully come 2027 presidential election and we are not apologetical about that position. Coordinated attacks from some quarters will not in anyway diminish the trust Nigerians, particularly, the Obidients and youths in Nigeria have in him. We know that with him, a new Nigeria will be possible. Nigerians spoke loudly in 2023 and they will speak even louder come 2027.
