Nollywood Actor Kenneth Okonkwo Lost PDP
Primary Election In Nsukka Enugu State, Andy
Withdraws After Governor Endorses Opponent
The veteran Nollywood actor lost his primary electionticket to Vitta Abbah, an indigene of Nsukka East Local Government Area of Enugu. Kenneth Okonkwo intentionally backed out of the PDP primaries slated for the 6th of Dec, 2014 as the
state chapter of the PDP abandoned zoning in
Nsukka/Igbo Eze south Federal Constituency.
At a meeting of Nsukka/ Igboeze south stakeholders
that held at Enugu State Governors Lodge on
Wednesday December 3rd, 2014, the Governor
openly endorsed the former chairman of the party,
Vitta Abah, who is from Nsukka East in contradiction
to the zoning arrangement which ought to zone the
House of Reps ticket to Nsukka west.
After the meeting, the Nollywood actor popularly
called Andy dumped his political ambition.
He however came out to thank his supporters and
well wishers. These celebrities jumping into politics are learning their lessons in a hard way.

3. Desmond Elliot
At the primary elections of the All Progressive
Congress (APC), conducted on Tuesday in Lagos,
Desmond Olusola Elliot, Popular Nollywood actor,
defeated his opponent.
Having won the ticket at the primary election, the
Nollywood star actor emerged as the candidate to
represent Surulere constituency at the 2015 State
House of Assembly (LAHA).A while ago, before the election, Desmond Elliot was able to pull support from his people when women and youths in Surulere Constituency endorsed the star actor for the Lagos House of Assembly. Olajide Abiodun, spokesperson of the group, apportioned the endorsement to the actor’s immense
contributions to the constituency. According to Abiodun, the Nollywood actor gave scholarships to youths in the constituency to attend Open University. In addition, he provided free health insurance for the elderly and empowerment programmes for the widows and single mothers among others. “If he could successfully execute these programmes as a private individual, we are sure of better performances from him when he becomes a member of Lagos State House of Assembly 2015,” the group said.

5. Dayo D1 Adeneye
Contrary to the report that the All Progressives
Congress’ Dayo D1 Adeneye lost the primary election, sources claim an unpopular candidate was imposed during a nocturnal meeting on the eve of the primary which allegedly never took place as aspirants were allocated by party chieftains.
Angered by the development, aggrieved APC
supporters have vowed to vote against the party if
the trend of imposition of unpopular figures persists. They wondered why Dayo Adeneye, the one who arguably brought back the fame of APC to Odogbolu when he declared his intentions some two months ago, was treated in an unfair manner.

Whether APC or PDP, imposition of candidates will always be there cos u can't expect the state party chairman 's son going for a post and you saying you wanna throw it to the air via primaries, our politicians don't have such big heart. I only pity those that fall victim of imposition ,I say "Welcome to the world of Nigerian politics". congratz to Desmond, I wish u all the best
