Allegation: Kenneth Okonkwo Accuses Julius Abure-led LP Executive of Iniquity

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent figure within the Labour Party (LP), has launched scathing allegations against the Julius Abure-led executive, describing them as workers of iniquity and likening them to a secret society led by clowns.

In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo expressed deep dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs within the LP, particularly criticizing the leadership under Julius Abure. He vehemently denounced their inability to conduct a credible national convention, which he perceives as indicative of their incompetence and lack of integrity.

Okonkwo stated unequivocally that if the LP continues on its current trajectory of mismanagement and failure to uphold democratic processes, he would have no choice but to disassociate himself from the party. He emphasized his disdain for the current executive, labeling them as clowns and asserting that they do not possess the qualities necessary to lead a political party with integrity.

Furthermore, Okonkwo condemned the LP executive as a “secret society” and accused them of engaging in activities that he described as iniquitous. He called for their apprehension, criticizing their leadership tenure and highlighting the ongoing crisis within the party since Lamidi Apapa, deputy national chairman, declared himself the acting national chairman in 2023. The situation worsened in 2024 with controversial events surrounding the LP’s national convention in Anambra, where Julius Abure was re-elected as chairman amidst ongoing internal strife.

These accusations underscore the deep-seated divisions and challenges faced by the LP, raising significant concerns about its governance, internal cohesion, and ability to uphold democratic principles. The allegations also highlight the need for transparency, accountability, and adherence to constitutional processes within political organizations.
