Kenneth Okonkwo Drops Shocking Revelation Of How Tinubu Used The North To Become President, SEE Details
Lagos, Nigeria- In a fiery critique aired on TVC News, Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council and a veteran Nollywood actor, has accused President Bola Tinubu of exploiting the North to ascend to power while sidelining the region in terms of real governance influence.
Okonkwo’ s comments came amidst discussions on national unity and governance, highlighting what he perceives as a significant imbalance in how power is distributed across Nigeria’ s diverse ethnic and religious lines. ” Tinubu now displayed that he is a man that is cantankerous to the spirit of diversity, ” Okonkwo stated, criticizing the President for not recognizing Nigeria’ s rich tapestry of religious and ethnic diversity.
He went further to suggest that under Tinubu’ s leadership, Muslims, particularly in the North, are experiencing the brunt of policy impacts more than any other group. ” What is happening today, the Muslims are suffering most in this country. Because it’ s about using them to acquire power, he just gave posts to the North without power and gave power to his people, ” Okonkwo claimed, implying a strategic use of regional and religious sentiments for political gain without delivering equitable governance.
The accusations touch on broader themes of inclusivity and representation in Nigerian politics, where the balance of power between regions and between different religious groups is often a contentious issue. Okonkwo’ s critique comes at a time when the Tinubu administration is navigating through economic reforms, security challenges, and social policies that affect diverse communities differently.
Reactions to Okonkwo’ s statements have been mixed. Supporters of Tinubu might argue that his administration has made significant strides in appointing individuals from various parts of the country to high offices, although critics like Okonkwo argue these roles lack the substantive power needed to effect change in their regions.
Political analysts are watching closely as this discourse unfolds, recognizing that such criticisms could influence public sentiment, especially as the country prepares for future elections or policy referendums. The debate underscores the ongoing conversation about how Nigeria can achieve governance that truly reflects its diversity and ensures all citizens feel represented.
This development also highlights the role of public figures in political discourse, where actors like Okonkwo use their platforms to influence political narratives, potentially shaping voter perspectives and policy directions.
As of now, there has been no official response from the President’ s office regarding these specific allegations, but the conversation continues to stir debate across Nigeria’ s political landscape.
