Fresh Crisis In LP As Kenneth Okonkwo Blasts Abure-Led NWC, Calls For Their Arrest

A fresh crisis has surfaced as a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), Kenneth Okonkwo, has criticized the Julius Abure-led executive, calling them “workers of iniquity” and describing them as “a secret society led by a group of clowns.”

In an interview aired by Symfoni on Thursday, Okonkwo expressed his discontent with the current state of the LP. He stated, “My own Labour Party is not impressing me. Assuming they continue on this trajectory where they cannot even hold an acceptable national convention, then you’d tell me I’d be there? Those people are clowns. It is the greatest joke I have ever seen in a political party and then you want to position yourself as a party of integrity. You cannot give what you don’t have.”

He further asserted, “Aburi and his cohorts, their tenure is over. Let Aburi and his cohorts get behind me. They are workers of iniquity. I don’t rate them. That executive is in charge of the secret society. They should be apprehended.”

The LP has been embroiled in a leadership crisis since 2023 when Lamidi Apapa, the deputy national chairman, declared himself the acting national chairman. The situation worsened in 2024 when a national convention in Anambra saw Abure re-elected as chairman.
