Okechukwu Mac-Anthony known in the
entertainment world as Okey Bakassi has been around in the make-believe world
for over two decades. As an accomplished actor and stand-up comedian, Okey’s
rich profile earned him appointment as Senior Special Assistant on
Entertainment Affairs to the erstwhile Governor Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State. He
speaks with Richard Udofia on variety of issues, including his purported letter
to God on the problems of Nigeria. Excerpts:
As the former Senior Special
Assistant to the administration in Imo State on Entertainment Matters,
will you love to serve if given an opportunity under the incumbent government?
The answer to this is dependent on my predisposition, and I don’t put such response in the public domain. But honestly speaking, I do embrace every opportunity to serve the people, but when the philosophy, ideology and beliefs of any administration are not in consonance with mine, I find it difficult to function. As for this administration in my state, I want to state it categorically that I will not want to serve in any capacity because we do not have the same philosophy and ideology.
