“You Are Scavengers” — Kenneth Okonkwo Blasts Pro-Tinubu Supporters, Says Ndigbo Reject ‘City Boy’ Movement
Actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo has sparked controversy after launching a scathing attack on supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
In his remarks, Okonkwo described pro-Tinubu supporters as “scavengers” and claimed that the ‘City Boy’ movement does not have the backing of Ndigbo. His comments have since generated intense reactions across political and social circles.
The statement reflects ongoing political tensions and differing opinions among stakeholders in Nigeria. Supporters of the president have criticized Okonkwo’s remarks, describing them as inflammatory, while others have defended his right to express his views.
Political observers note that such strong statements often deepen divisions but also highlight the vibrancy of democratic discourse in the country.
The ‘City Boy’ movement, associated with Tinubu’s political identity, has been a talking point since the last election cycle, making Okonkwo’s comments particularly significant.
As reactions continue to pour in, the development underscores the heightened political atmosphere and the role of public figures in shaping national conversations.
