As the 2015 general election approaches, tension now
brews in Enugu North Senatorial Zone, Enugu State
between two biological brothers jostling for one political
position, under the same party, to represent Nsukka/
Igbo Eze South federal constituency in the House of
Representative.
Saturday Vanguard gathered that the two are of one
womb and natives of Echara in Nsukka local
government area. One is Kenneth Okonkwo (a.k.a
Andy), the famous Nollywood actor, while the other is
Luke Okonkwo (a.k.a Aguma). The two were said to be
locking horns for the occupation of Nsukka /Igbo-Eze
South federal constituency seat at the national House of
Representative under People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
According to investigation, Luke, who is Kenneth’s
younger brother, had first indicated interest to vie for
the seat. He had sent out his campaign posters earlier
than Kenneth and other contestants, who later advised
Luke to step down for his elder brother, Kenneth, for
peace to reign in the the family.
Rumors are however rife at the University town of
Nsukka over the feud between the two brothers. It may
be of interest to know that their eldest brother, Peter
Okonkwo (Ohamadike), had severally contested the
governorship election under different political parties
from 2007 without success, and has now allegedly
decided to take a shot at again in 2015 under the
platform of APC.
In a telephone interview, the famous Nollywood actor,
Kenneth Okwokwo, said there was no rift in their family
over 2015 general elections, explaining that no other
person in his family is running for election to the House
of Representative apart from him.
Kenneth said he wants to change the face of the
constituency for effective representation, pointing out
that he will not speak for any other person from a
different political party, but he remains the only one
from his family that picked the PDP form for the House
of Representatives for the 2015 general elections.
Mr. George Okonkwo, chairman, Nsukka Building
Materials Union, who is also a brother to Kenneth and
Luke, said that politics is all about interest in any
given position. He confirmed it was Luke who first
showed interest to contest for election into the House of
representatives under PDP.
Later, Kenneth queued in for the same position under
the same political party. According to George, Luke has
to step down for his elder brother, Kenneth, not minding
that he had distributed his posters for the 2015 race.
“There is no problem in our family in connection with
the way the two showed interests; we are bounded by
one blood, one love and one interest.
Luke cannot battle for an elective position with his elder
brother. The entire family supports the ambition of
Kenneth to reposition honesty, accountability and
transparency in Nsukka /Igbo Eze South Federal
Constituency,” he said.
A prominent politician in Nsukka, Mr. Festus Omeje,
said the emergence of the two brothers from one political
party sends danger signal which shows that all may
not be well in the PDP family.
