Famous Nollywood Actor turned politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has come out to allege that the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu who is seeking re-election on March 18 took the people of the state for granted by ignoring the gubernatorial debate.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Okonkwo who was a spokesperson for the Obi/Datti Campaign Council in the just concluded presidential election made this known in tweets on Monday night.
According to him, prior to the presidential election, Sanwo-Olu had believed power comes ‘from Bourdilion.’
The actor who called on Lagos residents to vote for the Labour Party candidate, Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour for better governance, said it’s time to liberate the state from ‘bullion van instigated democracy.’

He wrote: ‘Sanwo-Olu was too big to join other contestants in Lagos State gubernatorial debate. He took Lagosians for granted because he thought that power comes from Bourdilion.
‘He will learn on March 18 that power comes from the people. His recent voluntary humility of visiting every nook and cranny of Lagos to solicit for support must be disregarded as an exercise in hypocrisy.
‘Lagosians must liberate Lagos from bullion van instigated democracy. Vote Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour of Labour Party for a new and free Lagos State. We moovee!’
In another report, Governor Sanwo-Olu has asserted that he does not control either the police or the army hence blaming him for the alleged Lekki Tollgate shooting will not be fair.
The governor said he was concerned about getting verified information on what happened on October 20, 2022, when the Nigerian army opened fire on unarmed civilians instead of the social media posts.
Sanwo-Olu pleaded that everyone should drop the question of ‘who gave the order’ and engage in a role-play or put themselves in his situation.
