Nollywood star actor cum politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has issued a strong warning to Nigerians amid the crisis rocking the leadership of the Labour Party (LP).
Kenneth Okonkwo, Spokesperson of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign in the 2023 election, has continued to speak against the Julius Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
In a recent development, Okonkwo warned Nigerians to avoid the Abure-led committee.
He gave the warning in a post on his X page, formerly Twitter on Monday, July 22nd, 2024.
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.”
