Akwa Ibom state governor Pastor Umo is nothing but a transgender politician—Kenneth Okonkwo
Nollywood actor and former APC Chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo has described Akwa Ibom state commissioner as a transgender politician.
Okonkwo made this assertion on Arise television talk show where he wondered the moral standing of a man who calls himself a pastor to abandon the political party that brought him to power to another party.
But Governor Umo has clapped back at actor/politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, who in a recent interview with Arise TV, described him as a ‘’political transgender’ and one who behaves like a man but has the genitals of a woman.
Okonkwo stated this while expressing his disappointment at the governor over his recent defection from the PDP to the APC and the reason he gave for the defection.
Okonkwo said
‘’Let me tell you something about this defection, The worst from the opposition is moving into the ruling party. The best from the ruling party is coming to the opposition and I give you example with the Governor of Akwa Ibom state.
His commissioner on Information and Strategy said ‘’My political orientation is rooted in principle and I have longed opposed APC’S ideology and conduct which stand is reaffirmed by majority of Nigerians. This is he summary of it. His own political career rooted in principle, thereby telling the whole world that his governor is unprincipled in this move and he said the ideology and conduct of APC has been rejected by Nigerians.
Can you imagine a whole governor coming out to say ‘I can’t fight like Wike ooo!!!! 2027, I want a smooth sail. I still love PDP’. That is ‘Transgenderic’ This is a man that behaves like a man and has the genitals of a woman…Can you imagine! You don’t want to fight like Wike but want to be a governor like Wike? If his predecessor had not fought for him, fought APC, he wouldn’t be governor.
Now look at this ‘transgenderic’ governor embarrassing the whole world. I know of ‘transgenderic’ men and women, they are very fantastic people. I started with them from Nollywood. Bold, beautiful and brave. He is just a political transgender”
Governor Umo felt uneasy with his remarks and has come out to reply him. Although he did not mention the actor’s name, many could deduce he was talking to Okonkwo who shot into limelight with his outstanding performance in the movie ‘’Living in Bondage, is a lawyer and former member of Labour party.
Umo said
‘’So people that are talking, even those that are not from Akwa Ibom, even those who feel they have done things…they have tried everything..they have tried to become actor, they failed. They are still living in bondage, trying to put their mouth into what does not concern them. Tell them this is living reality. He should go to his state and fight. He is an attempted politician. He tried in Labour party, he ran away. He tried acting, he was living in bondage. He is an attempted lawyer. He has never moved a motion before. So such people, don’t listen to them”
