2027: Kenneth Okonkwo Calls for New Leadership, Urges Tinubu, Peter Obi, and Atiku to Step Aside”
As the 2027 elections approach, Kenneth Okonkwo advocates for fresh leadership, suggesting that Tinubu, Peter Obi, and Atiku should make way for new faces in Nigerian politics.
Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesman for the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, has urged President Bola Tinubu, former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to vacate their positions before the 2027 elections.
According to Okonkwo, Tinubu, Obi and Atiku are unsuitable candidates for the 2027 election as they have not met the expectations of Nigerians.
During an appearance on Arise TV, the Nollywood actor expressed disapproval towards the opposition for their inability to unite and collaborate against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okonkwo concurs by saying, “I fully agree with your assertion that we require novel individuals – absolutely. This is precisely why I suggested Atiku, Peter Obi and Tinubu ought to vacate the scene.”
The ruling and opposition parties have both failed, which is why there are now more members of the opposition in the House of Representatives compared to those from the ruling party.
My point is that after an election, the first topic of discussion shouldn’t be the next one. Instead, it’s important for opposition groups to come together and form alliances to work collaboratively.
The speaker and the vice could have been produced in the House of Representatives if all opposition members had united.
