Actor Kenneth Okonkwo To Rule Enugu State Like Nollywood In 2019 As APC Governor by 4Ebisco: 7:38am On Mar 05, 2018
Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has declared to contest the forthcoming governorship election in Enugu State as an APC candidate, describing the administration of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state as not working.

According to the SUN, Okonkwo declared his intention over the weekend during the expanded stakeholders meeting of the APC, Enugu state Chapter.

In his words;

“My people made that move, called me and I said God forbid that I will quench your spirit. I said I am going to present myself in line with the wishes of my people for this post to be the governor of Enugu state 2019 and I so present myself.

“I want you to understand that it is beautiful when you are coming under a party that you have perused the constitutional aims and objectives and you have ensured that those objectives are compatible with your own aims and objectives as a politician.

“In APC, our aim is to build a nation that will grantee political stability, mutual and peaceful co-existence, respect and understanding and equal opportunity for all. We are here to render selfless at all levels of governance that will guarantee people a sense of nationality and patriotism. And I have found those beliefs compatible with my own. I, Dr. Kenneth Okonkwo, hereby present myself to be the gubernatorial candidate of this party.”

The veteran actor, however, explained that it would be more difficult for him to win the APC ticket than winning the governorship itself.

“It is easy to win against a non-performing person; it is easy to win somebody whose greatest achievement is billboards and posters.

“We are not talking about refurbishment, we are talking about legacies,” while challenging anybody from Nsukka to point out any legacy project that the current administration has done. “So if it is not done in Nsukka zone where he comes from, I don’t need to ask other zones,” Okonkwo said.

Okonkwo said if he is elected as the governor of the state, he will bring in the success formula of the Nollywood industry into the state.

According to him the Nollywood Industry has been able to create millions of jobs, even without any government intervention.

“We want to deploy such input and creativity to create legacy projects that Nsukka people can be proud of. That is why they said I must proceed to contest for the governorship of Enugu state come 2019 and we will win,” the veteran actor said.

He disclosed that, should he be elected, he would serve a single term.

If not for his party, I believe he will perform much better than that crying coward Ogwuanyi from nsukka who is still hiding under Sullivan Chime's achievements.
