Slamming Praise for Tinubu's Administration, Actor-politician Kenneth Okonkwo Speaks Out
"Kenneth Okonkwo Expresses Frustration Over Tinubu's Inability to Protect Benue and Plateau Residents Following Recent Violent Attacks"
In an interview with News Central TV, Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party presidential campaign organization and a notable figure in the Nigerian film industry, voiced his disapproval of those praising the current administration of President Bola Tinubu.
Okonkwo expressed concern over the economic hardship suffered by the nation's citizens, pointing to the alarming rise in fuel prices and the devaluation of the naira, which have only intensified the struggle for Nigerians. He argues that the government's inaction in addressing these matters displays a failure in economic management [2][3].
In addition, Okonkwo tackled the concerning issue of rising insecurity across the country. He urged the administration to adopt a more robust approach to maintaining public safety [2].
Notably, Okonkwo lamented the ongoing violence and killings in states like Benue and Plateau. He questioned the motives of those who continue to praise the president, asserting that Tinubu has failed to protect his people from terrorist attacks, killer herders, and other threats [4][5].
Okonkwo's powerful critique concludes with a declaration that praising the government amidst the bloodshed and suffering of the citizens is sheer foolishness. "When they came in, Tinubu promised the fuel subsidy was gone, and there was no cabinet in place," Okonkwo said. "Nigerians are becoming hungrier, yet the government urges us to be patient, asking for our patience for years without addressing the root of the issues."
Okonkwo's message serves as a stark reminder of the pressing concerns that demand the president's urgent attention.
