Nollywood actor and politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, has called on presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and President Bola Tinubu to step down for younger leaders ahead of 2027 general elections.
Okonkwo, who contested for the Enugu State governorship seat in 2019, cited the need for fresh perspectives and energetic leadership.
Speaking on Arise TV, Okonkwo criticised the current and opposition parties for their failures, asserting that the trio is not fit to lead Nigeria.
“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,” he asserted.
