Anybody from South-East Supporting Tinubu is an ‘Enemy’ Kenneth Okonkwo.
Veteran Nollywood actor and lawyer, Kenneth Okonkwo, has launched a fresh wave of criticism against President Bola Tinubu’s administration, accusing the president of deliberately sidelining the Southeast region.
Speaking during an interview on Symfoni TV, Okonkwo questioned the loyalty of any Igbo person who supports Tinubu, insisting that the president’s actions and comments since the 2023 elections clearly indicate hostility toward the region.
Tinubu’s Post-Election Remarks Under Fire
Okonkwo recalled a statement allegedly made by the president after the polls, which he interpreted as proof of animosity toward the Igbo community.
“After the election, he said, ‘These people (Igbos) came to Lagos when they were 12 years, and they didn’t support us,’” Okonkwo recounted. “So he had the mind to emasculate and finish the Southeast.”
According to him, such rhetoric reflects deep-seated resentment and explains why the region has been marginalized in the current political arrangement.
Muslim–Muslim Ticket Cited as Evidence of Exclusion
The actor-politician also pointed to Tinubu’s choice of a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket as a clear sign that the Southeast was never part of the administration’s plans.
“On top of it, he went for a Muslim-Muslim ticket. The Southeast is 99.9% Christian,” he stated. “Whoever is choosing a Muslim-Muslim ticket does not have any intention to have them in the presidency for any reason.”
He argued that this decision further alienated the region and reinforced a perception of political exclusion.
