Actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo has come under fire on social media following comments he made about former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Okonkwo, who was part of Obi’s 2023 presidential campaign team, reportedly questioned the former Anambra governor’s movement across different political platforms within a short period.
According to him, such political decisions could raise concerns about Obi’s ability to build long-term political credibility.
The remarks quickly triggered reactions online, particularly on X, where several users accused the actor of political inconsistency and hypocrisy.
One user wrote that Obi’s supporters would continue backing him regardless of his political platform, while another suggested Okonkwo himself could eventually switch allegiance to another party.
Others accused the actor of political opportunism, claiming he had also moved across political parties over the years.
A separate critic described the actor as “unmasked,” arguing that his recent statements reflected personal political interests rather than ideology.
The exchange has intensified debate online over party defections, loyalty, and the fluid nature of Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of the next election cycle.
Kenneth Okonkwo first gained national recognition through his role in the Nollywood classic Living in Bondage before transitioning into politics and public commentary.
