Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party’s presidential campaign, has urged President Bola Tinubu, Peter Obi, and Atiku Abubakar to step aside before the 2027 elections.
He believes that new leaders are needed because these three have not delivered on their promises to Nigerians.
Speaking on Arise TV, Okonkwo, who is also a popular Nollywood actor, criticized both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition parties for their failure to unite against the APC. He stressed that the ruling party has failed, and so has the opposition.
Okonkwo said, “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?
“If all the opposition members in the House of Representatives had come together, they would have produced the speaker and the vice.”
He also warned against focusing too early on the next election instead of forming strong alliances and working together as a unified opposition.
