2027 Presidency: Kenneth Okonkwo asks Tinubu, Obi, Atiku to step aside for new faces
Nollywood actor turned politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has asked President Bola Tinubu, ex-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi, to step aside for new faces to contest the 2027 presidential election.
The former spokesman of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, while giving his reason for the request, said the three major contenders for the 2023 presidential election have failed Nigerians.
He also blasted opposition parties for not teaming up to sack the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The actor said, “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.”
