In his social media post, Okonkwo stated: “I am suspending my relationship in all aspects with the purported Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party.

For me, it’s either a new Nigeria or nothing. I prefer to lose doing the right thing to winning doing the wrong thing.

Nothing can wash out the criminality, corruption, and incompetence with which the purported National Convention was organized by Abure.”

He continued, “I did not leave the comfort of the ruling party APC because I believed they were incompetent and dishonest, only to join another incompetent and corrupt association, which is the current Abure-led National Working Committee of Labour Party.”
