Nollywood actor, Mr. Kenneth Okonkwo has formally joined the Labour Party (LP), weeks after he officially dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.
The erstwhile APC chieftain has now openly backed the LP presidential candidate, Mr. Obi, while calling on Nigerians to be “OBIdient” and support the former Anambra governor in his presidential bid.
Taking to his social media handle on Wednesday, Obi wrote, “It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed into the Labour Party on the 23rd of August, 2022, at the Supreme God House, Apo, Abuja, by the entire executive of the FCT Labour Party, representing the National Executive of the Party,” the actor began in a lengthy note on Instagram.
“I feel loved and cherished by the visit of these distinguished officials of this people-centric party to our Chambers which culminated in my officially joining the Labour Party as a member.
“This will enable me to assist in my own humble way to the enthronement of His Excellency, Peter Obi, as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023 for the good governance of our dear country which is so blessed by God but has been so battered by bad leaders.”
