Kenneth Okonkwo, a veteran Nollywood actor and politician, has disputed rumors that he left the Labour Party.
Okonkwo claims he is still a full-fledged member of the party.
He mentioned this on Tuesday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time programming.
“First of all, let me say I am embarrassed by your comment. I am just hearing it from your media station that I dumped the Labour Party. And I put up the statement that I made so that I wouldn’t be misconstrued. So, where did you get that from? It’s not certainly from the statement that I made. I am still a full-fledged member of the Labour Party,” he stated.
When asked if he’s still a member of the Labour Party, he replied in the affirmative: “Yes, absolutely.”
Okonkwo continued: “There’s no crisis in the Labour Party as it relates to me. There’s crisis in the Labour Party as relates to the NWC, which failed to organise an all-inclusive convention. And I thought that the leader ought to have taken a decisive decision to ensure, having seen that the convention did not hold against his instruction, that there’s an organised and all-inclusive convention according to court judgement and past agreement.”
