Weeks after making his political intentions publicly known, veteran actor and lawyer, Kenneth Okonkwo has also showed how confident he is as 2015 election fast approaches;

‘My chances are very bright. First, I believe that I am a child of grace. So by the grace of God, I will win. Second, I love my people and my people love me. This is one of my greatest assets. Third, our governor, Sullivan Chime has performed creditably, so the people are solidly behind him. He made a conscientious decision that every member of the National Assembly that has served two terms should allow others. I’m from Nsukka/Igboeze South Constituency, which has produced a gentle man, Dr. Patrick Asadu from Igboeze South, as its representative for two terms. It is now the turn of people from Nsukka Local Government, where I belong to produce a candidate. Dr. Patrick Asadu, being a gentleman will not likely fight his popular governor and when it comes to Nsukka, because of the love of my people, I stand a chance,’ he said.

Kenneth Okonkwo is vying for a seat at the National House of Assembly in Nsukka Local Government under the flagship of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
