Kenneth Okonkwo hits Nigerians for not protesting petrol price hike
Kenneth Okonkwo, the actor turned politician, has berated Nigerians for allegedly accepting the recent petrol price hike without a protest.
In a recent Instagram post, the former Labour Party member questioned what he described as “the public’s acceptance” of the N1,000 per liter price, contrasting it with the widespread protests against the N140 per liter price some years ago.
Okonkwo stressed the irony that the same leaders who spearheaded the past protests now hold power, yet remain silent amid the significant price increase.
The politician denounced what he perceived as “hypocrisy”, stating, “It shall not be well with the wicked”.
“Like play like play, Nigerians who stood against N140 per litre at Ojota years back are now paying N1000 a litre after hours on the queue under same people that led the protest,” he wrote.
“It shall not be well with the wicked.”
