I Was Pressured Into Vying A Political Post—Kenneth Okonkwo

In September 2014, top actor and lawyer, Kenneth Okonkwo declared his intention to contest for a seat at the National House of Assembly. The actor who turns 46 in November said he is confident he would win the election.

According to him, his chances are very bright because he is a child of God who has unflinching love for his people.

He further stated that he has been in politics for a long time and was not following the latest trend of entertainers trying their lucks with politics. He said he was pressured to vie for a political post from his people.

Revealing how he tends to sponsor himself for the polls, the veteran actor said that he has people who are sending him and are supporting him both morally and financially.

In his words, “I have a God that will supply all my needs according to His riches by Christ Jesus. I have my people that are sending me, who are supporting me both morally and financially. I have great friends and fans supporting me.

“Nollywood is also behind me. Some senior members of the bar are supporting me because of their belief that I will contribute to the development of law if I become a lawmaker. I have some party big wigs who are supporting me because they believe that my membership of PDP will add value to the party. So, by the grace of God, I have a large war chest.”
