Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has stated that he owes no one any apology for supporting President Muhammadu Buhari. 

The actor turned politician recently came under fire after he stated that people of the South East part of Nigeria will be in the wilderness if they fail to vote for Buhari in 2019.

Reacting to the heavy backlash he got, Kenneth Okonkwo via an Instagram post stated that he owes no one any apology for his statement.

His words:

My attention has been drawn to some negative comments and curses poured out against my person by some ignorant and satanically motivated persons because of my preference of President Muhammadu Buhari as President of this country for his incorruptible and firm character against enemies of Nigeria. 

I have been laughing at their ignorance and wickedness. 

First, these men have not offered any alternative party or Presidential aspirants to challenge Buhari or be compared with him. 

Second, they claim they are Igbos but forgot that in Igboland, it is a cardinal principle and custom that you must respect someone's personal opinion and must not curse the person, if what the person simply did was to express his opinion and nothing more, "uche onye adighi ya njo". Even if a person says anything you don't like, provided he did not curse you, you are permitted to throw away his words but restrained by custom and tradition not to do anything to him. 

Third, the Nigerian constitution said in section 39 that "every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference". Also in section 38, the constitution states "every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience... including freedom to change his ... belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or in private) to manifest and propagate his belief in teaching, practice and observance". God himself created man a free moral agent to hold his thoughts and express his opinions as he wishes. He did not even compel man to worship Him. 
So these army of ignorant and wicked men are simply trying to rudely and crudely interfere with my traditional, constitutional and religious rights to freely express myself and hold an opinion, belief and thought as I so wish.

Let me reiterate that I am a follower of President Buhari and believe in his integrity and good intentions to better the lots of Nigerians and that of Ndigbo and I have no apologies for this. Whoever disagrees with me should produce his own strong reasons and better alternatives.

Since these men did not do this, but resorted to curses and vituperations, they have violated the law of nature, man and God. 

Here is the verdict of God on them according to Psalm 109 and particularly verses 1-3, 6, 17-21, 25-30.

For the avoidance of doubt let me reproduce these verses verbatim:
"(1) Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; (2) for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. (3) they compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. (6) Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. (17) As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. (18) As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. (19) Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. (20) Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. (21) But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. (25) I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. (26) Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy: (27) That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. (28) Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. (29) Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. (30) I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude."

Just to remind you but a few. Before Buhari came in, terrorists bombed to pieces, 88 persons at Nyanya in Abuja, bombed the United Nations Building in Abuja, bombed Banex Plaza and even the police headquarters in Abuja killing uncountable number of persons. I don't need to mention the entire North East that was overun by terrorists with thousands of people beheaded and the video images sent on internet for everybody to see. The terrorists were everywhere and have started forming cells in Lagos and Enugu. This Government came and destroyed them across the country. Only their remnants now are going about carrying out criminal activities and you are telling me security is not better now. Our soldiers and officers were sent to fight these terrorists without weapons. They were dying like chicken and when they complained about lack of weapons, they were sentenced to death for mutiny. No apologies for supporting Buhari. I respect your views. I not only support him, I pray for him.

You know the truth, the worst of Buhari in 8 years will be better than the best of PDP in 16 years.

PDP had 16 years with oil prices very high in-between yet they left us without light (power), without water, without roads, without security, without paying even salaries, indeed without anything. 
Whatever is happening today has its root from that regime. This administration came with bail out for states to pay salaries with the price of oil falling drastically. Tackled security and all that and somebody is telling me I should reconsider the past leaders that brought us into this mess. God forbid.

I support Buhari and pray for him. I sincerely don't care what people like those empty men who make ignorant videos have to say. I don't want to be a Governor under a corrupt President. At least I can say that the person of Buhari is not corrupt. 
Let them call on their gods, let me call on my God and let the God that answereth by fire, let Him be God.

Who cares? When I decided to be an actor, nobody supported me. They could not understand why a man who made a second class upper division in Business Administration in UNN and was wanted to be an assistant Lecturer, could opt to be an Actor. But my God was with me and I succeeded. Today, I have decided to go this political line and I guarantee you I will succeed irrespective of what unfortunate ignorant men will say. By the grace of God, watch me and watch where I am going. Onu kwuru njo ga emeche kwue mma.

Nobody is against you dabbling into a political abyss, but dragging igbos along is when you are going to receive the insults and bashing you never expected.

You are free to campaign for Buhari like some other lunatiiics, but hiding under " Igbo presidency" to campaign for Buhari"s second tenure by shouting
"Vote Buhari and get Igbo presidency" won't be allowed. That blackmail won't work !

Buhari doesn't have key to the success of Igbos. Igbos have faced the worst in the past, they have moved on and surpassed all in every ramification.
Go back to the recent report released three months ago.... SE & SS have the least poverty rate in Nigeria.
Northerners have produced more heads of states, but the survival of their masses lies on the Int. donors.
Majority of these A.P.C " Igbo presidency chanters" are aware that Buhari is a failure, some of them are ashamed of campaigning for Buhari openly, hence hiding under " Igbo presidency" to campaign for a terrorist for a second tenure.

Telling Igbos to support Buhari is like indirectly telling them to support the killings that is going on in this country..

Igbos know how they can get what they want, but no through Buhari who could not help himself in 2003, 2007 and 2011 until SW and NC that have deserted him today came for his rescue in 2015.
What more can I say other than a big congratulation to Kenneth Okonkwo while heading to a political Golgotha.

I never liked this man but I'm beginning to love him now.
Sai baba 25 million

Chai hunger bad, its only hunger that can make the Kenneth Okonkwo I know to say all these thrash just foe crumblings from Abuja.
Which intergrity are we still talking about at this point, with all that has been happening?
Am sorry Kenneth, truly we love you, but you may have just started your political carrier on a terrible note.

Of course you owe no apology to them. Many of them supported Shagari. Some supported Ahmadu Bello and Balewa. Some supported Tofa and millions of them supported Abacha. Some supported Yaradua while even now, plenty are supporting one or all of Atiku/Kwankwaso/Tambuwal/Lamido/Tanimu and others.

No difference between them all. Gworo Chewing kunu drinking head slamming fulani Muslims all of them so go right on with your buhari support.

I see no reason for cursing the guy for exercising his right to having a contrary opinion. That is the height of intolerance and extremism. Some people must learn to accept that we all cannot agree on everything in life, but must respect each other's individual opinions nonetheless.

Only potential terrorist still support a bloody terrorist.

This guys obviously knows he stands no chance in teh Enugu Guber.he is only looking for federal appointment.Shameless man with his mouth as wide as the atlantic ocean

We no where ur motivations lies. money money

As long as freedom of association is enshrined in our constitution, your move to associate with APC And Its Principles can only be criticized by pigs and idiots on social media, surely you cant be ostracized from Enugu Let Alone igboland And Nigeria.

The minute they start congregating in their hundreds anywhere within the territorial boundary of Nigeria to Re-enact the same foolery And Idiocy exhibited by The Founding Founders And ancestral pigs Of The Biafra Brouhaha, Buratai And His Boys Wont Hesitate To Brutally Launch An "operation pig tears" On Them.

Enemies Of The State Wont Be Tolerated!!
Pigs And Idiots Wont Go Haywire Unchallenged And Untamed.

Kudos Kenneth.God bless your hustle.

can your apology be exchanged for money?

As 2019 approaches, those who brought Nigeria to its knees, vandalized and wrecked it and left it for dead before 2015 are busy trying to weave a comeback mantra that will help them access power once again in 2015 after a disastrous 16 years trauma that left Nigeria for dead.

They are being joined in this vain mission by those who thought the coming of Buhari would shift the looting tent to their side and as it never happened, they became bitter, inconsolable enemies of the regime. Also in the train are the confused ideologues who have good intentions initially but are so disoriented as to be captured by the pedestrian feel-good stories of a utopia which Buhari would have wrought even with the fact that he inherited the most austere economic realities.

They have massed together to lead an erroneous chorus that Nigerians should vote out Buhari in 2019. Sho? Some of us who have been assaulted by this perverse gospel have asked why we should vote out Buhari but we have gotten no convincing answer than a rehearse of a more perverse narration of how Buhari has turned Nigeria to a land of hunger and misery and how killings have been happening under Buhari? Is that so? When you prod further, what you get is a string of poorly articulated narration of how life was a seamless bread and butter affair in Nigeria before Buhari came. If you try to run some comparisons to prove this story, they tell you to forget the past and face the future.

Truth is that those who weave sordid stories to make Buhari look bad are so afraid to confront the past, which itself introduces a huge paradox to their badly-arranged stories. Can you face the present and the future without excursing into the past? To them, life should start from May 29, 2015 when Buhari took over from the scandalous regime they ran. That itself, is a cut-and-paste effort to manipulate. It is as fraudulent as the claim of these same people that they have repented (and you ask, repent from what?) and their more notorious request to be allowed back to power. They are so pathologically hunted by the past they created that they make every effort to shout down any person that refers them to the hell they presided over here for a whole 16 years. They want Nigerians to abridge their memories and senses and join them in voting out Buhari based on their micro-managed but hardly agreeing narratives, which sees Buhari as having failed. Some of them are even telling Nigerians that Buhari has proven not to be the solution to our problem.

Since we have an Eldorado they claimed they did here in 16 years, which other problems are they talking about? Which problems are they claiming they will offer solutions to when they brought down heaven on earth to Nigeria n their 16 messy years in power? PDP claimed they did beyond expectation so why are they apologizing and telling Nigerians of their readiness to be born-again rulers if given back power?

But then, the question remains; why should I and other Nigerians vote out Buhari and bring back the locusts? Should I vote Buhari out because he is meticulously rebuilding an economy that was eaten down and ran in red during a providential oil boom? Do I vote out Buhari because he is frantically building up our foreign reserve that was so badly vandalized when oil, our solo export product, went at over $120 a barrel and the country was exporting over 2.5million ever day? Do I vote out Buhari in 2019 because he is achieving this unbelievable feat at a period the oil price crashed to between $27 to $50 a barrel and our daily sale volume was cut to as low as below 700,000 barrels a day because those that lost their power to loot saw oil facilities as one of the sectors they must avenge their electoral defeat on? Do I vote out Buhari because at this very arid economic turn, he is making the highest investment in capital projects?

Do I vote out Buhari in 2019 because he has channeled all the money that would have used to service the gluttony and bacchanal greed of party men, cronies, hirelings, friends, subalterns, bed mates and party members of the party in power and its government to critical capital projects that will drive the Nigerian economy? Should I vote out Buhari because he adamantly refused to bow to the pressure to sustain the corruption omnibus and ensure Nigerians live straight and narrowly without stealing from the treasury? Do I vote out Buhari because he has taken up the nation’s decayed infrastructures and is fixing them in a way no other government has done in the past?

Do I vote out Buhari because he decided to implement strict monetary policies to save Nigeria’s resources from yam eaters, rodents and plunderers who are anchoring the noisome battle for his replacement? Do I vote out Buhari because the treasury raiders who looted a richly endowed country dry before he came feel that he should satisfy their senses of entitlement and continue abandoning the infrastructure that should drive our growth as a nation? Do I vote out Buhari because he has stopped evil servants from operating millions of phantom accounts through which they bleed the treasury while we collectively suffer? Do I vote out Buhari because the economy is no more about looting, plundering, sharing and stealing?

Should I vote out Buhari because he has insisted that he will neither chop nor allow pests to feast on our commonwealth? Should I vote out Buhari because he insists that Nigerian wealth must serve us all instead of a ravenous few? Do I vote out Buhari because in a period of austerity, he saved states that went bankrupt when we were having oil boom and had made them solvent through prudent and honest management of our economy? Do I vote out Buhari in 2019 because he insists that Nigerians should work for what they earn? Should I vote out Buhari because he is fixing federal roads, the power sector, the energy sector in a way no government has done in the history of the country?

Do I vote out Buhari because he is no longer feeding corrupt-former leaders who not only looted Nigeria to the bones but insist on being serviced by what remains of the treasury? Do I vote out Buhari in 2019 because he is no longer pandering to the indecent corrupt interests of the legislature whose members are being ran ragged by frustration that they are no longer enjoying the bazaar as they used to do? Should I vote out Buhari because he is no longer deploying sacks of billions of Naira to bribe the legislature on sundry issues? Should I vote out Buhari because some of his party men who expected being spoon-fed from the national purse are disappointed he is not doing so? Do I vote out Buhari because those that stole the country to the bones and who thought they had escaped with their loot are being called by to return what they stole?

Do I vote out Buhari because the professional scavengers that flood around the seat of power with the hope of free-loading from our commonwealth have been made extinct? Do I vote out Buhari because he stopped the murderous escapades of Boko Haram that killed in tens of thousands, that took a huge size of Nigerian landmass and subjected the entire country to unrestrained attacks and untamed danger? So do I vote out Buhari because he is building the Second Niger Bridge for which past regimes duped my Igbo people? Do I vote out Buhari because he is building the enormous Mambilla Power Station which past governments played around with for decades without as much as turning the foundation soil on the project site?

Should I vote out Buhari because he is building massive railways across Nigeria? Should I vote out Buhari because he is meticulously building a viable economy from the rubble of the chaos he met on ground? Should I vote out Buhari because the vampires that wrecked the public treasury are angry and baying bare blood because, for the first time in the country’s history, they have lost access to the treasury? Do I vote out Buhari because the vampires that sucked life out of us especially in the fatal 16 years’ period before 2015 are wailing their eyes out and feigning hunger as an elaborate dubious project to take another injurious bite on us?

Do I vote out Buhari because he paid off trillions of Naira past governments owed contractors for contracts they used to enrich their members? Do I vote out Buhari because he paid off over N600 billion subsidy the past regime owed fuel importers and saved the energy industry from collapse? Do I vote out Buhari because he has rebuilt what remained of the four refineries that previous governments abandoned as scraps? Do I vote out Buhari because he stopped the payment of fraudulent subsidy to phantom fuel importers as was the culture before he came? Do I vote out Buhari because sundry, corrupt interests are no longer being awarded fake contracts where they walk away with the contract monies without even visiting the project sites? Do I vote out Buhari because he paid off trillions of Naira owed pensioners in federal government ministries, parastatals and agencies during our unfortunate oil boom? Do I vote out Buhari for the trillions spent on the most ambitious social intervention scheme to rescue the most vulnerable in our society, which is the most elaborate any government has ever embarked in Nigeria?

Why should I vote out Buhari? Do I vote out Buhari because he has stopped the drainpipe of freaky importation of freebies that served as feeding bottle for corrupt politicians before he came? Do I vote out Buhari because he stopped the importation of foodstuffs and through this bold action, has made Nigeria a sustainable agricultural country where citizens feed themselves? Do I vote out Buhari because of the agricultural revolution he is doing in Nigeria, which has seen the country unravel as sustainable food producer from its recent past as a top food importer? Should I vote out Buhari because he has made politics a non-rewarding venture unlike in the past? Do I vote out Buhari because he had securely locked up our treasure box and restrained access to it to even his appointees and supporters? Do I vote out Buhari because he is strongly ranged against the gargantuan corruption complex from which most Nigerians eke out a living?

These are just few posers I want those that have launched a project to get Nigerians to turn against Buhari. I don’t know of any incoming leader but I make bold to say that President Buhari has done far more than any other President that ruled Nigeria. I am open to correction by any person that feels otherwise and this would be done through telling us any president that has done better by listing what such president did. So are these reasons why I should vote out Buhari? Make no mistake about it, the project to stop Buhari flows from no patriotic reasons but squarely on the reality that Buhari has capped official stealing and plundering. It is for the singular reason that Buhari has plugged our treasury from these leeches that he is making huge investment in growth-driving capital ventures even when we are going through difficult economic realities because the oil we have, over time, depended lazily on, has met turbulent times.

So, on what ground will I and millions of Nigerians that endured very desperate pressures in 2015 to vote out the moths and rodents, not vote in Buhari in 2019 to continue the good works he is doing? Is it because the looters and their accomplices that neigh the country’s treasury have weaved enough incoherent and contradictory lies against Buhari that I will dive into a fatal voyage in 2019? Is it because those that ate down our country are breathing enough vain fury? Is it that we are simple-indeed enough to be taken advantage of by desperadoes that want power for its corrupt ends? Is it that those who raped and pauperized us before 2015 are right in their feeling that we are a simple-minded and memory-challenged people as to fall for any silly prank Never! I see no reason why we should not vote more emphatically for Buhari in 2019; not based on who he is but on what he had done with the mandate we gave him in March 2015 and based on the fact that he is the most assured hand to deepen the recovery of Nigeria and the setting of a credible template for the growth of Nigeria.

Keep loosing more fans with your careless talk.

Even some celebrities that were called to campaign for Buhari have openly disassociated themselves from such satanic campaign.

Igbo's should learn to tolerate one another. This attitude of abusing Igbo's and non Igbo's who don't think PDP or Nnamdi Kanu or whatever is nonsensical.

Funny guy. We all know Igbos cannot be President in Nigeria so why lie to them? Its like you are rubbing their political ineptitude in their face. That is why they insult you. Kindly stop mocking them with the Igbo Presidency comment.

Kenneth Okonkwo I am indeed proud of you.

This is the kind of man who would go far. Integrity is a very rare trait these days and when you see people like him talk this way, then know they love and value truth and integrity.

Kenneth okonkwo I pray for you today.

" Your rising has only just begun. Your glory is about to break forth and shine before men.
You shall be. a beacon of hope for the lost and a crusader of truth for the oppressed.
You will walk in corridors of power and sit on seats of authority.
Many shall rant and rave but you shall walk over them all in victory.

In Jesus name.

The way Nigeria is structured today, it will take a very long time before a Southerner becomes a president .
Unless if its by impeachment or the death of a sitting president.

More southerners vote base on political affiliation while Northernern votes lies on tribal affiliation.
Example, if Buhari wins in 2019 ( God forbids) , APC will Zone their 2023 presidency to the south which I know that PDP will zone theirs to the North to grab power, do you think that Aboki will leave their brothers and vote for a Southerner ? Of course APC will loose. Think !

Obasabjo's presidency was a compassation because of Abiola saga coupled with the fact that there was no or little opposition then.

Jonathan's 2011 emergence was lack of strong opposition coupled with the fact that Nigerians were not as politically sophisticated as they are today . .

Let be at the back of your mind that as long as PDP and APC have tested power and become strong political parties as they are now,... Power returning to the south would take a very looooooong time.
