The Labour Party (LP) has labeled Kenneth Okonkwo a “mole” and expressed that his departure from the party was anticipated.

The LP criticized Okonkwo’s recent comments targeting Peter Obi, the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, as unfortunate and driven by a desire for attention.

Okonkwo, who was a prominent figure in the LP, publicly stated that he had lost confidence in Obi’s ability to lead the party to electoral success.

He argued that Obi has demonstrated an inability to secure the mandate even if the public votes for him.

Okonkwo’s decision to leave the party, he said, was influenced by recent events within the party and marked a new direction for his political career.

In response, Obiora Ifoh, the National Publicity Secretary of the LP, issued a statement addressing Okonkwo’s resignation.

Ifoh noted that Okonkwo’s exit was expected and dismissed his criticisms of Obi as attention-seeking.

The LP spokesperson remarked, “Kenneth Okonkwo’s resignation did not come as a surprise to us. His attacks on Peter Obi are regrettable and appear to be an attempt to draw attention.”

Ifoh emphasized that despite Okonkwo’s departure, the Labour Party remains steadfast in its support for Obi and is committed to backing him as the party’s candidate for the 2027 presidential election.

Published

on


Former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke has filed a motion to amend her lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) order for the final forfeiture of her seized assets.

At a Federal High Court hearing in Abuja presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, Alison-Madueke’s counsel confirmed filing the amendment motion and serving the EFCC. Notably, no EFCC representatives appeared in court.

The embattled ex-minister also sought an extension of time to contest the EFCC’s public notice regarding the sale of her confiscated properties, claiming she was denied a fair hearing during the forfeiture proceedings.

The EFCC, however, rejected Alison-Madueke’s allegations, maintaining that the forfeiture cases were lawfully adjudicated over time.

Justice Ekwo adjourned the case to February 17, 2025, to consider the motion to amend the originating process.
