Nollywood actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has taken a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), branding the party as both incompetent and corrupt.

Speaking during an appearance on AIT’s Kakaaki, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain said his party was formed with a clear and singular purpose: prioritising the welfare of Nigerians and rebuilding the nation.

Okonkwo argued that Nigeria’s current challenges stem largely from poor leadership under the APC, insisting that the ADC offers a credible alternative capable of steering the country away from corruption and misgovernance.

According to him, “The essence of the ADC is the welfare of our people and the progress of our nation. As things stand today, ADC represents the only realistic pathway to rescuing Nigeria from the grip of an incompetent and corrupt ruling party.”

He further disclosed that the party has continued to attract new members who, after closely examining its constitution and leadership structure, are convinced of the sincerity and capacity of those driving the ADC’s agenda.

The actor-politician also commented on the political influence of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi. While acknowledging Obi’s consistent advocacy for a “New Nigeria,” Okonkwo maintained that the ADC provides a more reliable and structured platform for translating such ideals into concrete national reforms.

He emphasized that beyond rhetoric, Nigeria needs a political movement with strong internal principles and leadership integrity to deliver meaningful change—qualities he believes the ADC embodies.
