Former spokesman of Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, Kenneth Okonkwo, has charged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) to step aside ahead of the 2027 election.

Speaking on Arise TV, the Nollywood actor criticized the opposition for their failure to form a consolidation and work together against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okonkwo said Tinubu, Obi and Atiku are not fit to contest in the 2027 election, stressing that they have failed Nigerians.

According to Okonkwo; “I completely agree with you that we need new faces, 100% and that was why I have said 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 am 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 opposition.

“If all the opposition members in the House of Representatives had come together, they would have produced the Speaker and the Vice, he said.
