    FCT, Abuja – Kenneth Okonkwo, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, has officially joined the Labour Party ahead of the 2023 general elections.

    The Nollywood veteran actor and legal practitioner, resigned his membership of the ruling party few weeks ago after the APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, selected Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate.



    The selection of Shettima, a Muslim like Tinubu, had caused uproar in the APC with many of the party’s chieftains resigning their membership over the Muslim-Muslim presidential.

    In an interview with Arise TV days later, Okonkwo said he remains in the APC, but he is now ‘Obicentric’

    Photos and videos on social media, however, shows the former APC chieftain is now a member of the Labour Party.
