In a time when Nigeria is yearning for visionary leadership, principled reformers, and youthful energy, a new name is stepping forward. Prince Kennedy Chigozie Ahanotu is declaring his intention to contest for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria under the Labour Party. He is not just another candidate. He is a transformational leader offering Nigeria a fresh start - rooted in justice, innovation, environmental consciousness, and people-focused governance.
He represents a generational awakening and a bold break from the old system. His candidacy is a call for a new era where leadership is driven by integrity, competence, and compassion.
A visionary leader with the heart of a servant and the courage of a reformer, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu is not just a name - he is a symbol of integrity, innovation, and inclusive leadership. With years of experience in public service, environmental economics, youth advocacy, and party organizing, he stands ready to lead Nigeria into a more prosperous, equitable, and united future.
He is an accomplished agricultural and development economist with deep expertise in rural sociology, climate policy, and governance strategy. He earned his academic degrees from Ahmadu Bello University and holds a Master’s in Development Economics from the University of Abuja.
Over the past decade, Kennedy has been at the forefront of:
• Climate change policy and environmental advocacy.
• Renewable energy development and green economy innovation.
• Legislative advisory and public resource management.
He served as Board Member and Director of Administration and Finance at the Society for Planet and Prosperity in Abuja, contributing to major projects like the UNFCCC land degradation program, EU MRV training, and the GIGGA green economy initiative. His commitment to sustainable development and climate justice has impacted communities across Nigeria.

• Labour Party House of Reps Candidate (Abuja North, 2019)
In October 2022, during the historic Peter Obi Presidential Campaign, he was appointed Acting National Youth Leader of the Labour Party. His remarkable performance earned him confirmation as Substantive National Youth Leader at the party’s March 2024 convention.
As Youth Leader, Kennedy championed electoral transparency, digital democracy, youth-focused policy development, unity within the Labour Party, and structured youth participation in governance.
His 5-Point National Transformation Agenda.
1. Revive the Economy - Support for SMEs, agriculture, and industrial expansion.

Prince Kennedy Ahanotu is not running for power, prestige, or entitlement. He is running to serve. He is offering Nigerians what they have long been denied - real leadership, transparent governance, practical solutions, and lasting progress.
In his words, “Nigeria does not need another ruler. Nigeria needs a rebuilder. A restorer. A servant with vision.”
This is more than a political ambition. This is a generational assignment - a call to action for every Nigerian who still believes in a better tomorrow.
Together, We Rise.
Election Day is coming. Make your voice count. Support a presidential candidate who is in touch with the people, rooted in policy, and committed to making Nigeria work for everyone.
As the Labour Party expands its national reach, Prince Kennedy Ahanotu’s 2027 candidacy brings the energy, intelligence, and moral clarity our nation desperately needs. He is offering a new model of leadership built on vision, values, and verifiable action.
The time for recycled leaders is over.

Believes in Nigeria,
And is ready to serve Nigeria selflessly.
