Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesman for the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, has called for Chief Bola Tinubu, former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, and the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour party Peter Obi to step aside from the 2027 elections.
Okonkwo, speaking on Arise TV, criticized the current and opposition parties for their failures, asserting that Tinubu, Obi, and Atiku are not fit to contest the upcoming elections.
He pointed out that both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition have failed to deliver effective governance. Okonkwo also criticized the opposition for failing to form a unified front against the ruling party.
Okonkwo stated, “I completely agree with you that we need new faces, 100%, and that was why I have said that Atiku, Peter Obi, and Tinubu should step aside.
“The reason is that the ruling party has failed, and the opposition has failed. Are you aware that in the House of Representatives, you have more opposition members than the ruling class?
“I’m saying you don’t just finish an election, and the first thing you start talking about is the next election. You consolidate and form alliances amongst yourselves to work together as the opposition.
“If all the opposition members in the House of Representatives had come together, they would have produced the speaker and the vice,” he added.
