Last month,Veteran actor and lawyer, #Kenneth Okonkwo declared his
intention to contest for a seat at the National House of Assembly.The
actor who turns 46 in November said he is confident he would win..He
told Encomuim "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 Assemblythat has served two terms should allow his brother to go. 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.
I also have the love of a lot of prominent members of my party because
of my modest achievements in Nollywood and some live television
appearances where we discuss national issues.
On funding
So, I am confident.I have a God that will supply all my needs according
to His riches by Christ Jesus. I have my people that are sending me, who
are supporting me both morally and financially. I have great friends
and fans supporting me. Nollywood is also behind me. Some senior members
of the bar are supporting me because of their belief that I will
contribute to the development of law if I become a lawmaker. I have some
party big wigs who are supporting me because they believe that my
membership of PDP will add value to the party. So, by the grace of God, I
have a large war chest
