Kenneth Okonkwo discussed his reasons for leaving the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) once again. In an interview with News Central TV, he explained that he departed from the party because they failed to fulfill their electoral promises.
He emphasized that despite the APC's pledges to combat corruption, provide workers with a livable wage, and achieve a one-naira-to-one-dollar exchange rate, none of these commitments had been fulfilled.
Okonkwo criticized the APC for what he described as hypocrisy. He pointed out that they protested against former President Goodluck Jonathan for partially removing the petrol subsidy, only to fully remove it themselves later.
According to Okonkwo, the APC is not a realistic choice for Nigeria. He urged the party to apologize to Nigerians for creating false hopes and causing suffering.

He remarked, "I left APC because I didn't like what they were doing anymore. APC promised one naira to one dollar; have you seen it?"
"APC promised a living wage for workers; have you seen it? The APC promised anti-corruption; have you seen it? APC promised everything that they could promise."
He further stated, "They were the ones who were going on the street against Goodluck because he partially removed the subsidy."
"Now, they have fully removed the subsidy, and there is nothing to show for it. People are dying; Nigerians are deprived, so APC is not an option. They should apologize to Nigerians for what they are doing."
