Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has strongly criticised the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that Nigeria may struggle to survive another four years under the party’s leadership if current conditions persist.
Okonkwo made the remarks while explaining his decision to align himself with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which he described as a viable platform for addressing the country’s numerous challenges and restoring hope among citizens.
In a statement shared on his social media account, the former spokesman for the Labour Party presidential campaign said his move to the ADC was motivated by the party’s commitment to prioritising the welfare of Nigerians. According to him, the party’s constitutional principles place the wellbeing of the people and the stability of the nation at the centre of its political agenda.
The actor-turned-politician argued that Nigeria has endured years of hardship due to poor governance and persistent insecurity. He maintained that these problems have weakened public confidence in leadership and have significantly affected the country’s global reputation.
Okonkwo further urged Nigerians who are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs to consider supporting the ADC as part of what he described as a broader effort to rescue the nation from economic and political decline.
Highlighting some of the issues troubling the country, he pointed to the continued rise in fuel prices, widespread insecurity, corruption, and what he called administrative incompetence. According to him, these challenges have placed severe pressure on ordinary Nigerians and undermined the nation’s development.
The politician warned that if the current situation remains unchanged, the country may face even deeper difficulties in the coming years. He stressed that Nigeria cannot afford another term characterised by economic strain, governance failures, and declining public trust in leadership.
Okonkwo concluded by encouraging citizens to rally behind political movements that prioritise accountability, transparency, and national development, insisting that collective action is necessary to prevent what he described as a looming national crisis.
