Popular Nollywood actor, Ugenzu Jideofor Ugenzu, popularly known as Ugenzu Ugenzu has alleged that individuals he described as political saboteurs are regrouping to undermine the African Democratic Congress (ADC), following what he claimed was their earlier role in destabilizing the Labour Party (LP).
In a strongly worded statement shared on his social media platforms, Ugenzu dismissed allegations that former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi (PO), was responsible for the internal crisis that rocked the Labour Party, describing such claims as an act of projection by those he accused of causing the problems.
The actor said the same group that fueled the crisis in LP had expected Obi to clean up the mess they created, only to later accuse him of destroying the party.
According to him, “the same leprous fingers that fueled the crisis in LP and then expected an innocent PO to clean up their mess have now regrouped, mutating into a leprous octopus bent on destroying ADC.”
Ugenzu argued that the accusations against Obi were part of a familiar pattern in Nigerian politics, noting that “in a stunning act of projection, they now allege that PO destroyed LP and will destroy ADC.”
He added that “the truth is simple: those who sabotage institutions inevitably search for scapegoats.”
He further warned that political power is fleeting, stressing that “power is transient.”
The Nollywood actor clarified that he was not a politician and had no partisan ambition. “I am not a politician. I make political observations and draw my personal political conclusions.”
Ugenzu’s comments have continued to generate reactions across social media, with supporters and critics engaging in debate over the future of the ADC and the role of Peter Obi in Nigeria’s opposition politics.
