Veteran Nollywood actor and lawyer Kenneth Okonkwo has confirmed that he is indeed serious about his plan to venture into politics.

in a recent chat with TS Weekender, the actor said he decided to run because he is unhappy by the approach the incumbent governor of Enjugu state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is using to rule Enugu.


His words:

Ugwuanyi’s style is all about mounting billboards and renting crowd, the more you look, the less you see.

“We will take things step by step. We have just taken the first step; there would be a lot to let out of the bag in due course. My people from the entire Enugu North have just presented me to the party as their candidate. That was the first step.”

Ironically, Okonkwo, who declared on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC), campaigned vigorously for the incumbent governor back in 2015.

Those supporting Okonkwo’s include former Enugu Governor Sullivan Chime, Voice of Nigeria boss, Osita Okechukwu, Ex-APC governorship candidate Oke Ezea and former Enugu House Of Assembly speaker, Eugene Odo.

Do you think he stand a chance to emerge Enugu state’s next governor?

He stands a chance. In fact, he would have been the favourite to win the elections but for the party he joined. APC is an albatross on any political office seeker in the south east

I like the fact he is of middle age, he should be full of 21st century ideas. Enough of this pensioners holding political position as important as governor of a state. From online findings ABIOLA AJIMOBI OYO STATE [67 YRS], ABDULLAHI GANDUJE KANO STATE [67 YRS], AMINU MASARI KATSINA STATE [67 YRS], UMARU TANKO NASARAWA STATE [63 YRS], DARIUS ISHAKU TARABA STATE [63 YRS], AKEREDOLU ONDO STATE [61 YRS] , IBRAHIM GEIDAM YOBE STATE [61 YRS], GEIDAM YOBE STATE 61 YRS, AREGBESOLA OSUN STATE 60 YRS, OBIANO ANAMBRA STATE 60 YRS, . The list is endless not to forget the president does not even know his own age.

Ok,happy running.

We are not foolish people in Enugu. We will never make the same mistake imolites made. Apc is a Satanic party that we the easterners need to reject . Okorocha would be the last Apc governor in the south east

No matter who is supporting you, if it won't be you, it won't be you
if God is not supporting you, just forget it..

was that not how buhari supported that one against obiano but he losed.
Anyways, gburugburu hasn't done much in Enugu state but he is still the people's choice..
let him keep warming the seat till i come..

042 be ready for Me..... !!!!!

Kanayo Kanayo

Come n join your team.

BTW, dinamo Zagreb Don finish me today

All Nigerian politicians are the same.

That devilish spirit overshadows even a saint the moment he joins politics.

Ask Osibanjo, the mere commissioner, if am lying.

a useless man who can not even win counselor in his ward is vying for the top post in his state... abeg what is the title of this movie

Later in the day AKI AND PAWPAW will show up

I CAN'T SAY YEA OR NAH


BUT TRUST ME APC IN ENUGU STATE ISN'T SELLABLE.

from eziagu-->augwu-->nkanu-->orji-->ude-->Igbo eze-->Enugu south & Enugu north THE ANSWER IS NO!!!



don't know about his brethren from Nsukka, .......

Hope u won't use ur innocent face to chop our money?

Ugwuanyi has won the hearts of all Enugu north including nsukka where Kenneth okonkwo comes from. The kind of road with street lights ugwuanyi has given Enugu north is 2nd to know. Anytime ugwuanyi visits nsukka, no market in nsukka will open, its not a rented crowd..he is simply loved by Enugu people. Am from anambra but reside in nsukka and I envy nsukka people cus of the kind of work ugwuanyi does there.

He should go and sit down

At the back of his mind he is not contesting for anything. He is only targeting the money for APC gubernatorial flag bearers...

Zanas:

APC IN SOUTH EAST.. Never!!!

APC cannot win anything in Enugu


The dude is just creating awareness
