The National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party (LP), Abayomi Arabambi, on Wednesday, claimed that the exit of Nollywood actor turned politician, Kenneth Okonkwo was a good riddance to bad rubbish for the party as its plans to unseat the present administration come 2027.
New Telegraph had earlier reported that Okonkwo resigned from the LP on Tuesday, February 12, citing the party’s non-existent as a major reason for him pursuing his political career elsewhere.
Speaking on the development on Wednesday in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Arabambi, however, said the party remains firm.

”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, Okonkwo has been in collusion with the ruling party as his loyalty was never with the Labour Party in the first place.
”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.
