Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has announced his resignation from the Labour Party (LP).
In a statement via his X handle on Tuesday, Okonkwo revealed that his resignation will take effect on February 25, 2025, marking the second anniversary of the 2023 presidential election.
His exit has sparked discussions about his next political move.
Giving reasons for his resignation, Okonkwo stated that the Labour Party, as presently constituted, is not in a position to be part of that political force that will determine the political future of Nigeria.
Kenneth Okonkwo also cited the LP’s inability to conduct congresses at the ward level, elect local government and state party executives, or hold a national convention.
