Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo, had only recently joined the Labour Party (LP), about one month after he left the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mr Okonkwo resigned from the APC on 11 July over the party’s Muslim-Muslim Ticket.
The presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu, a Southern Muslim, recently picked Kashim Shettima, a former governor of Borno State and Northern Muslim, as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
The actor announced his defection to the LP in a series of Instagram posts on Wednesday.
Mr Okonkwo said he was joining the LP to help enthrone good governance and achieve a new Nigeria.
He said the LP presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is the symbol of the new Nigeria and called on all Nigerians to support the former governor to emerge the country’s president in 2023.
“It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed into the Labour Party on the 23rd of August, 2022, at the Supreme God House, Apo, Abuja, by the entire executive of the FCT Labour Party, representing the National Executive of the party,” he said.
The actor attached some photographs of himself and some LP officials as he was being welcomed into the party.
“I feel loved and cherished by the visit of these distinguished officials of this people-centric party to our chambers which culminated in my officially joining the Labour Party as a member,” Mr Okonkwo stated.
