“Kenneth Okonkwo Is Just Acting Drama” — NDC Secretary Slams ADC Spokesman Over Legal Battles Claim

According to Channels Television on Wednesday November 11 2026, Ikenna Enekweizu, National Secretary of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, has dismissed claims by Kenneth Okonkwo, spokesman for the ADC presidential candidate, that the NDC has more legal battles than the ADC, describing the claim as false and lacking facts.

Enekweizu spoke on Channels Television while responding to Okonkwo’s statement made on the same programme last week, where he alleged that the NDC was burdened with several litigations.

He further revealed that to the best of his knowledge, the NDC has no legal battle with any other political party.

He then stated, “Because, to the best of my knowledge, there is no legal battle between the NDC and any other political party.”

He further explained that the only matter the party had earlier this year was a ruling from a court in Lokoja which affected the status of the NDC.

He then noted, “All I know is that earlier this year, a court in Lokoja issued a ruling that affected the status of the NDC.”

He further disclosed that the party appealed the ruling and got a favourable judgment.

He then added, “We appealed against that ruling, and the Court of Appeal delivered a judgment that reversed that ruling in a well-considered judgment of the Court of Appeal.”

He further stressed that beyond that matter, he is not aware of any other case involving the NDC.

He then stated, “So, and beyond that matter, I am not aware of any other matter between the NDC and any other political party at all.”

He further maintained that Okonkwo’s comment was in his usual manner of playing to the gallery, rather than presenting facts.

He then noted, “So, if Kenneth, in his usual manner, because he likes to play to the gallery, being himself an actor, and every time he has an opportunity of talking, he thinks he is on stage producing a drama.”

He further explained that he does not like to respond to statements that are not backed by facts and figures.

He then stated, “So, I don’t like to respond to that. I really do not reckon with him when it comes to talking about facts and figures.”

He further challenged Okonkwo to provide details if he truly believes such a suit exists.

He then added, “If he had said that such an existing suit exists, he should say so, give the facts, give the details, for Nigerians to know.”

He further affirmed that the NDC remains focused on its campaign and will not be distracted by unverified claims.

He then concluded that Nigerians should judge political parties by verifiable records, not by drama and stage performances.
