A prominent member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has leveled serious accusations against the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), branding it as the most fraudulent entity in Nigerian politics. He made these claims during an interview on Symfoni TV.
Okonkwo asserted that individuals who defected from the ADC in Enugu State to join the NDC have reported being systematically defrauded by the party during its primary election process. He stated unequivocally that the NDC represents the pinnacle of political deception in the country.
According to Okonkwo, aspirants who left the ADC for the NDC shared their distressing experiences with him after the primaries. Those vying for House of Representatives seats, after paying their official fees, were allegedly coerced into paying an additional N10 million as a bribe. Similarly, senatorial aspirants were reportedly told to pay N20 million, which they did, only to have their money taken without any support or return. Okonkwo emphasized that these are real individuals who aspired to contest under the NDC banner, and the party not only extorted them but also abandoned them after collecting the funds.
