It’s unpardonable APC failed on its mandate – Kenneth Okonkwo, Nollywood star
Nollywood actor and lawyer, Kenneth Okonkwo, said the failure of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to fulfil its manifestos and the promises made to Nigerians is not excusable and, therefore, unpardonable.
Okonkwo, who was a member of the APC until the controversy over Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, disclosed that the party promised him to tackle security and corruption.
He added that he joined APC because of its constitutional vow to eliminate all forms of discrimination and social injustice in the country.
In an interview on Channels television, Okonkwo said, “I joined APC in 2016 when Boko Haram was allegedly technically defeated.
“APC has not done anything because the insecurity that was limited to the Northeast before has now spread all over Nigeria.
“I did not subscribe to the fact that ASUU will be at home, students at home, my younger ones deny education for seven months and there’s no end in sight.”
Okonkwo, who is also the convener of the Campaign for Equity and Justice in Nigeria, said, “I did not vote for animals to begin to manifest as witches stealing our money. So in APC government everybody has become a thief, including animal, please we need redemption.
“You can imagine in APC government we are witnessing termites eating documents, monkey swallowing money, snakes becoming money eaters.
“One person who is supposed to be the custodian of the money of Nigeria is alledged to have stolen 109bn the provable one.”
Earlier, Okonkwo had stated that he had resigned from the APC in July in the interest of equity, justice, fairness, and peaceful co-existence among Nigerians after the party’s Muslim-Muslim ticket.
