The Akwa Ibom governor has described Kenneth Okonkwo’s comments on his movement to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as ill-informed and busybody.
Pastor Umo Eno said that Okonkwo, a lawyer and Nollywood actor, was still “living in bondage”.
Eno said this while reacting to Okonkwo’s comment on the governor’s recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC.
The actor and member of the Labour Party during a television interview described Eno as “a transgenderic politician,” for moving from the opposition to the ruling party.
Eno said Okonkwo should focus on issues that were of concern to him.
The governor said, “So people that are talking, even those that are not from Akwa Ibom, even those who feel they have done things; they’ve tried everything, they’ve tried to become actors, they’ve failed; they are still living in bondage. Trying to put their mouth into what does not concern them.”
Living in Bondage is the title of one of the first Nollywood movies Okonkwo starred in during his early days as an actor.
“Tell them that this is living reality; he should go to his state and fight, he’d an attempted politician, he tried the Labour Party, he ran away.
“He tried acting, he was living in bondage; he’s an attempted lawyer, he has never moved one motion before.
“So, such people, don’t listen to them. This is within my right and he’s not from Akwa Ibom State, we don’t welcome him in Akwa Ibom State,” Eno said.
