A former spokesperson of the Labour Party, Kenneth Okonkwo, has argued that he didn’t defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC)
Okonkwo said he resigned from the ruling APC before joining the Labour Party.
He stated this during an interview on Channels TV on Wednesday, January 10.
Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s ally said:
“I’m always not very comfortable with the word ‘defection’. I resigned from the APC and joined the Labour Party. You defect when you move from one party to another.“Let’s say you are a member of the National Assembly; and in Nigeria, you must be a member of a political party to run for office or there won’t be any chance for you to resign. In that circumstance, you can defect.“But when you resign and join another party, that’s not defection.”
