Kenneth Okonkwo, former spokesman for the Labour Party presidential campaign council and Nollywood actor, has criticized Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and President Bola Tinubu, stating that they are not fit to contest in the 2027 elections.
He believes that all three have failed Nigerians. Okonkwo expressed his disappointment with both the ruling and opposition parties, arguing that they have not effectively addressed the country’s challenges or provided the leadership needed to improve the lives of the citizens.
Kenneth Okonkwo, the former spokesman for the Labour Party presidential campaign council, recently criticized Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and President Bola Tinubu, arguing that none of them are fit to contest the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Arise TV, Okonkwo, a Nollywood actor and human rights lawyer, expressed disappointment in both the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition parties, claiming they have failed Nigerians.
He emphasized that instead of focusing on the next election, opposition parties like the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) should have worked together to hold the APC-led administration accountable for policies that have caused hardship for Nigerians.
Okonkwo criticized the removal of the fuel subsidy by President Tinubu, arguing that it was done irresponsibly, without proper planning or cushioning effects for the public.
He also pointed out that if opposition parties had united in the National Assembly, they could have prevented some of the government’s controversial actions, such as appointing APC members to key positions.
Okonkwo concluded that the opposition leaders have failed to provide the necessary leadership to inspire confidence among Nigerians, which is why he believes they should step aside in favor of new faces in 2027.
