- Arabambi said there is no crisis in the party and warned Okonkwo to refrain from speaking about Labour Party.
The Labour Party says the exit of Kenneth Okonkwo from the party is a burden taken off the party.
The party said Okonkwo’s departure from the party was a relief to the party because he is not a character to be trusted.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, LP, Abayomi Arabambi, made this known on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He added that the party remains firm and it is working towards unseat the present administration come 2027.
His statement came after Okonkwo’s resignation letter on Tuesday, where the former party spokesperson cited the party as being non-existent as a major reason for him pursuing his political career elsewhere.
Reacting, Arabambi said there is no crisis in the party and warned Okonkwo to refrain from speaking about Labour Party.
”And we wish Mr Kenneth Okonkwo well, his resignation is good riddance to bad rubbish. He should not speak about the Labour Party anymore
”There is no leadership crisis in the Labour Party. Labour Party is not going into extinction. It is just a figment of the imaginations of most of our detractors,” Arabambi said.
According to him, the Nollywood actor-turned politician has been in collusion with the ruling party as his loyalty was never with the Labour Party.
”The APC man has been working with President Tinubu before, that is Kenneth Okonkwo, he worked against Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 elections. We wish him well and we will meet in 2027,” he added.
The LP Publicity Secretary reiterated that the party will not tolerate any form of political rascality, saying proactive steps were in place to weed out those who have loyalties elsewhere
