Okonkwo, who served as a spokesperson for the Labour Party’s presidential campaign council during the 2023 elections, has also announced his separation from the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
In a statement, Okonkwo explained his decision:
“I have chosen to continue my political journey towards the envisioned great Nigeria without Peter Obi. My loyalty is always absolute to any leader I work with or follow. When I have doubts and can no longer offer 100% loyalty, I respectfully inform the leader.

“Joining his campaign was a significant step, and now that I cannot assure support for his future endeavors, it is my duty to inform everyone.
“With this announcement, I am now open to negotiations and consultations with like-minded individuals to determine the next steps in my political journey. For now, this does not include joining the APC or PDP but involves strengthening the Labour Party.
“We need a strong political party with a solid grassroots base to challenge the current kakistocrats and kleptocrats.
“We need a decisive leader who can build a party of integrity and character from the grassroots because, ultimately, the majority of government officials will come from the leader’s political party.”
