AAC Chieftain Calls Out Kenneth Okonkwo Over Alleged APC Allegiance
"Sowore Accuses Kenneth Okonkwo of Working for Tinubu"
In a stark revelation, African Action Congress (AAC) heavyweight, Omoyele Sowore, has accused Kenneth Okonkwo of working with the All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilize oppositions against President Bola Tinubu.
According to our platform, Sowore made this claim on Monday in response to Okonkwo's recent statement supporting a coalition to unseat President Tinubu in 2027, which the Nollywood icon maintained was the best tactic to drive the APC out of power. However, Sowore believes most of the politicians advocating for the anti-Tinubu coalition secretly work for him.
Okonkwo, actively involved in political discussions and public affairs analysis[1], holds the spotlight for his significant role in the classic Nollywood film "Living in Bondage," released way back in 1992 - a benchmark production in the Nollywood industry's history[5]. Nonetheless, there's no solid evidence available to substantiate Sowore's accusations against Okonkwo regarding his alleged APC affiliations.
In another surprising twist, Okonkwo had earlier stated that anyone opposing the proposed 2027 coalition against President Tinubu is most likely a Tinubu agent[5]. This came after the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors' Forum, in a communique following their meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State, distanced the party from coalition talks being spearheaded by former presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
Okonkwo contended that the opposition has failed to satisfy the nation's expectations and that a coalition presented the best possibility of ousting the APC government in 2027. In his words, "Nigerians are fed-up with the ruling party, but their main hurdle is a disunited opposition. If the opposition parties come together today against APC, this will spell the end of APC and signal the start of a new era."
On the flip side, disagreeing with coalition talks, Sowore claimed that many of the politicians pushing for coalition against Tinubu are actually being manipulated by him. "They've resumed their tricks while working for the very APC they pretend to be fighting against. Kenneth Okonkwo is one of them. He bounced between APC, Labour Party, and most recently left the Labour Party after they didn't want to challenge the man they claimed stole their mandate[2]," Sowore stated.
This allegation put a new twist on the ongoing political debates, with both Sowore and Okonkwo expressing strong opinions on the future of Nigeria's political landscape.
