Labour Party Calls Kenneth Okonkwo a Mole And Denounces His Criticism
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.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
