Kenneth Okonkwo, the former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP), has dramatically exited the party and rescinded his support for Peter Obi's presidential campaign. This unexpected decision marks a significant shift in Okonkwo's political alignment and raises questions about the future trajectory of both the party and Obi's candidacy.
In his announcement, Okonkwo cited a fundamental loss of confidence in Obi’s leadership, criticizing the former governor’s approach as lacking in courage and decisive action. This criticism is particularly striking given Okonkwo’s previous role as a prominent advocate for Obi and the LP.
The departure of such a key figure from the party could have far-reaching implications for the LP’s internal dynamics and its strategy for the upcoming 2027 presidential election. As Okonkwo steps away, the party must navigate the potential fallout and reassess its leadership and campaign strategies in the evolving political landscape.
