The national spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has described his purported suspension by the Lamidi Apapa-led faction of the party as comical.
As gathered by Native Reporters, the National Executive Council of the party – the faction loyal to Apapa – at its meeting on Wednesday suspended 12 members including the Acting National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Obiora Ifo and Okonkwo.
Okonkwo said it is meant to make people laugh.
Okonkwo said this on Thursday night in an exclusive interview on News Central’s Political HQ.
The Obi/Datti Presidential Campaign Council spokesperson said that the Apapa-led faction of the party is a department of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) pushed forward to distract the party from pursuing its presidential mandate in court.
“They are now a department of the ruling party, clearly functioning to distract us from chasing our presidential mandate which Nigerians gave to us, and which we must recover through the court.
“So, these people are simply a distraction. If it is not a distraction, why are they targeting a presidential spokesperson? Simple, to distract from speaking about reclaiming our mandate.
