Criminal and corrupt - Kenneth Okonkwo fires Abure despite Obi’s endorsement

Kenneth Okonkwo is a member of the Labour Party

A spokesperson for the now-defunct Labour Party Presidential campaign council, Kenneth Okonkwo has called out the Abure-led National Working Committee of the party.

The party chieftain said he couldn't continue to be with a corrupt and incompetent NWC led by Abure.

He made this known in a post on X while condemning the national convention organised by Abure.

He says the convention was rife with criminality and corruption.

The post reads: “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 is coming amid the endorsement of the Abure-led NWC by the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Gregory Obi.
