Kenneth Okonkwo, a seasoned Nollywood actor and politician, has advised everyone to stay away from the Labour Party’s (LP) Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC).
Okonkwo warned that if people followed the Abure-led NWC, a group of unfortunate liars, they would be conned out of their hard-earned money.
The seasoned actor disregarded the Labour Party’s NWC’s claim that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not reject its previous convention in a post on his X Twitter on Monday.
He said: “My attention has been drawn to the updated lies of the rejected purported Abure-led NWC of Labour Party, signed by one Obiorah Ifoh, to the tune that INEC didn’t reject their crooked convention. A look at the letter will reveal that the writer neglected, failed, and refused to include the dates they purported to notify INEC of the changes in the venue.
“This is because they knew that the notice was inadequate and consequently by Section 82(5) of the Electoral Act was void. INEC didn’t attend because they were not legally notified to attend, not that they opted not to attend.
“Also, the Labour Party members or their duly elected delegates were not allowed to vote for their preferred candidates in the purported convention in accordance with Section 82(3) of the EA, making the convention void for not being all-inclusive as required by law.
“Everyone knows that they didn’t organise ward, local, or state congresses before the purported convention. INEC was right in rejecting the illegal convention, and they remain perpetually rejected.
“I wish to advise everyone to stay clear of these bunch of ill-fated liars as they will be scammed of their hard-earned money if they follow them.”
Remembers that Okonkwo had cut ties with the Labour Party’s National Working Committee, which was commanded by Julius Abure.
He declared that he could not work with Abure’s dishonest and unqualified NWC.
The veteran of Nollywood strongly denounced the Abure-organized national convention, claiming it was a haven for crime and corruption.
According to him, “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.”
