“You’re Working For Tinubu If You Dump ADC” – Kenneth Okonkwo To Peter Obi

Nollywood actor and lawyer Kenneth Okonkwo has said that Peter Obi will prove that he is working for President Tinubu’s re-election if he dumps the African Democratic Party, ADC. He recently had his say during an interview on Channels TV, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, should Obi fail to secure the presidential ticket of the coalition party, it would automatically mean that the former Labour Party presidential candidate is compromised.

Okonkwo added that anyone who walks out of the ADC ahead of the 2027 election is secretly working to aid BAT’s re-election.

His words, “If he leaves, will he now be a mobile squatter.

Anybody, any presidential aspirant in ADC and seeing what everybody is going through and leaves ADC for another party, one, he is a mobile squatter and two, he is working for Tinubu.

Anybody that goes out of the coalition is compromised and is working for Tinubu. Whoever that person is.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
