Ace Nollywood actor and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has sparked massive reactions online after declaring that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has “practically surrendered Nigeria to terrorists and bandits.”
Okonkwo’s fiery statement comes on the heels of rising nationwide insecurity and a surge in mass abductions across Kebbi, Niger, and Kwara States, fueling widespread public outrage over the government’s handling of security.
The veteran actor, who is a prominent figure in the African Action Congress (AAC) coalition, took to 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, accusing the Tinubu government of abandoning its constitutional duty to protect citizens.
According to him, the administration has resorted to negotiating with criminals—a move he described as a clear sign that the government has lost control of the country’s security.
Okonkwo didn’t mince words as he insisted that the Tinubu-led government has “lost every moral right to remain in power.” He also urged Nigerians to pray that the country survives until 2027, when they will have the opportunity to vote out the current leadership.
His exact words:
“The regime of @officialABAT is becoming sickening. It has practically surrendered Nigeria to terrorists and bandits. It has resorted to negotiating with outlaws to release victims. Having failed in its primary duty to secure the people, this government has lost every right to remain in power. Nigerians should even pray for the country to survive till 2027 when they have the opportunity to vote Tinubu out.”
