Money Issues? "God will supply all my needs" -Kenneth Okonkwo on funding his political campaign

Last month,Veteran actor and lawyer, Kenneth Okonkwo declared his intention to contest for a seat at the National House of Assembly.The actor who turns 46 in November said he is confident he would win..He told Encomuim

"My chances are very bright. First, I believe that I am a child of grace. So by the grace of God, I will win. Second, I love my people and my people love me. This is one of my greatest assets. Third, our governor, Sullivan Chime has performed creditably so the people are solidly behind him. He made a conscientious decision that every member of the National Assembly that has served two terms should allow his brother to go. I’m from Nsukka/Igboeze South constituency which has produced a gentle man, Dr Patrick Asadu from Igboeze South, as its representative for two terms. It is now the turn of people from Nsukka Local Government, where I belong, to produce a candidate. Dr Patrick Asadu, being a gentleman, will not likely fight his popular governor and when it comes to Nsukka, because of the love of my people, I stand a chance.

I also have the love of a lot of prominent members of my party because of my modest achievements in Nollywood and some live television appearances where we discuss national issues.

On funding 

So, I am confident.I have a God that will supply all my needs according to His riches by Christ Jesus. I have my people that are sending me, who are supporting me both morally and financially. I have great friends and fans supporting me. Nollywood is also behind me. Some senior members of the bar are supporting me because of their belief that I will contribute to the development of law if I become a lawmaker. I have some party big wigs who are supporting me because they believe that my membership of PDP will add value to the party. So, by the grace of God, I have a large war chest
