Leading member of the Labour Party (LP), Kenneth Okonkwo, has charged the executive led by Julius Abure with being corrupt employees.
The LP executive under Abure was referred to by Okonkwo as “a secret society led by a group of clowns.”
If the LP stays on a “trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention,” the former presidential spokesman promised to dissolve the organization.
During a Symfoni news platform interview on Thursday, Okonkwo stated: “I’m not impressed with my own Labour Party.” You’d tell me I’d be there if they kept going in the same direction, to the point where they can’t even conduct a legitimate national convention?
“Those folks are absurdists.” You want to portray yourself as a party of integrity, but it is the biggest joke I have ever seen in a political party. You are unable to give up what you lack.
“The days of Aburi and his cronies are over. Allow Aburi and his friends to follow me. They work for evildoers. They are not rated by me. The secret society is run by that executive. They ought to be taken out.
Since 2023, when Lamidi Apapa, the party’s deputy national chairman, proclaimed himself the acting national chairman, LP has been embroiled in a leadership crisis.
The crisis grew worse in 2024 when Abure was re-elected as party chairman at the Anambra national conference.
