Akwa Ibom Government Claps Back at Kenneth Okonkwo Over Controversial Remark

The Akwa Ibom State Government has issued a sharp response to actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo following his controversial comments, where he labeled a state official as a "transgenderic politician" claiming they act like a man but possess the "genitals of a woman."

In a statement released shortly after the video surfaced online, the government condemned the remarks as disrespectful and unbecoming of someone in public service, calling for a higher standard of discourse in Nigeria’s political space.
