City Boy Movement, An Insult To Ndigbo – Kenneth Okonkwo Blasts Tinubu Supporters

Veteran actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has accused members of the “City Boy Movement” (CBM) of selling their conscience for personal gain.

Okonkwo, in a recent interview on Symfoni TV, stated that the support group backing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid are political scavengers.

He argued that their alignment could be likened to the current administration “feeding on crumbs” falling from the President’s table.

Speaking further, Okonkwo stated that the Igbo people have distanced themselves from the movement.

He argued that the actions of certain politicians from the region who have endorsed the President do not represent the collective will or dignity of the Ndigbo.

“The Igbo have rejected them. It is an insult to Ndigbo. We wear our Isiagu because we hunt for our food with dignity, like lions, and eat fresh meat. We don’t scavenge like vultures,” Okonkwo stated.

He further described those seeking political favour through the movement as “political children drinking from the feeding bottle of Tinubu,” adding that he would rather maintain his dignity than seek relevance through what he termed “rotten crumbs.”

Okonkwo, who has become a prominent voice for the opposition in recent years, maintained that his livelihood has always been sustained by his talents and skills rather than political patronage.
