Kenneth Okonkwo, a Labour Party spokesperson in the 2023 presidential election has said that Doyin Okupe left the party since he resigned as the Director General of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign in December 2022.
Appearing on a Channels Television program on Thursday, January 11, Okonkwo stated that Okupe’s claim of leaving the party on January 8, 2024, due to ideological difference is faulty as he wouldn’t have remembered that if they had won.
Okonkwo added that Okupe who has “sampled all the parties” in the country should be thinking of how to stay with his grandchildren at his age.
He said;
“Immediately, he (Okupe) stepped down as the DG, I can say with every degree of responsibility that he constructively had left the party because I wasn’t aware of any other interaction he had with the party. I think he just verbalised it.
“Could it then be that you’re an opportunist because you said – and I’m talking about what he said – the only reason you entered was to go and contest election. And the question is this: if he had gone into election and won, would he have remembered ideological difference?
“That’s why you’re an opportunist – that’s why you’ve portrayed yourself as an opportunist.”
