Newsone Nigeria reports that the former spokesman of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has called on the ex-presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi and President Bola Tinubu, to step aside ahead of the 2027 elections.
Okonkwo, a Nollywood veteran actor and lawyer, said President Tinubu, Peter Obi, and Atiku are not fit to contest in the 2027 election, stressing that they have failed Nigerians.
Speaking on Arise TV, the Nollywood actor also criticized the opposition for failing to form a consolidation and work together against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to Okonkwo: “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,” Kenneth Okonkwo said.
