Kenneth Okonkwo: Slapstick Comedian
Okonkwo usually gets carried away during interviews. He often postulates as if he is in a Williams Shakespeare ‘Romeo and Juliet’ production. The way he spews words theatrically, one may believe that he is preening for an audience and not talking about serious issues.
Someone quipped in one of those busybodies WhatsApp groups that Nigerians are yabbing him now, that when he was defending Peter Obi, we did not look at him with the same lens we are using today. My response was that it’s the underlying principle that fetched such scrutiny.
How did Obi suddenly turn into what Kenneth wants us to believe he is all of a sudden? If Obi is truly this vile, then Kenneth is a very poor judge of character for selling the same Obi to Nigerians as vigorously as he did that year.
Today, the same opponent he railed against previously is now his beautiful bride. He is now showering the same beautiful words, the same robust gesticulations on the same people he had labelled as the worst pestilence that ever dropped on Nigerians.
