Kenneth Okonkwo, Nollywood actor and politician has decided to end his association with the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.
He revealed this in a statement via his Instagram page on Sunday, according to him, Peter Obi is too weak and indecisive to confront national issues.
He stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as presently constituted, do not have what it takes to make Nigeria a great nation but attempt to cripple the country.
According to Okonkwo, the country needs a solid political party with a robust grassroots base and a decisive leader to wrestle power with PDP and APC.
Okonkwo noted that the series of events in the Labour Party inspired his determination to chart a new course in his political journey, especially as Peter Obi has refused to seize the moment to build a solid party of integrity.
Okonkwo also revealed how surprised he was when Peter Obi publicly declared that he did not promise Nigerians to build a strong Labour party but to solve Nigeria’s problem, meanwhile a strong political base is needed to overthrow the opposition parties.
He also blamed Peter Obi for failing to detach himself from the ongoing crisis and criminal activities of the LP National Working Committee (NWC) and his lack of support to the Labour Union while they were fighting for the welfare of workers.
