Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesperson for the Labour Party’s presidential campaign council, has called for a significant political shift ahead of the 2027 elections, urging President Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi to step aside.
In a recent interview with Arise TV, Okonkwo criticised these leaders for failing to deliver on their promises and for failing to unite the opposition.
“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,” Okonkwo stated.
He underscored the widespread disappointment of Nigerians in both the ruling party and the opposition, highlighting the urgent need for a new political direction.
Okonkwo also criticised the opposition for failing to collaborate, pointing out that this disunity led to significant missed opportunities in the House of Representatives, thereby hindering effective governance.
