Three months after actor-turned politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, quit the Labour Party, another outspoken member, Osekola Obaze, has announced his resignation.
Okonkwo quit in February after a memorable ride with the Obidient Movement pushing the candidacy of the LP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi.
On his part, Obaze, the former Secretary to the Anambra State Government, resigned, citing unresolved leadership issues at the national level.
Obaze, who also served as Peter Obi’s campaign manager, expressed concerns over the party’s handling of internal affairs and protested the conduct of the April 5, 2025, governorship primary in the state, describing it as fraught with irregularities.
His resignation, contained in a letter addressed to the LP Chairman in Ochuche Ward 406, Ogbaru Local Government, further deepens the party’s crisis in Anambra, where he has been a key figure.
Obaze, a former diplomat, played a central role in Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign and was instrumental in the ‘Obidient movement.’
His exit raises fresh questions about the party’s stability in the state.
