Kenneth Okonkwo, former Labour Party presidential campaign spokesman, has announced his willingness to support any presidential candidate, regardless of their region, who is willing to serve only one four-year term.
Okonkwo’s decision is based on his belief in equity and fairness between the northern and southern regions of Nigeria, aligning with the unwritten rule of rotational presidency.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s “Inside Sources with Laolu Akande,” Okonkwo established the importance of unity among opposition parties to challenge the incumbent administration.
He further expressed his openness to joining a coalition aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Okonkwo added by criticizing the APC government, labeling it “incompetent” and stressed the need for a strong opposition alliance to wrest power from the current administration.
Truth Live News reports that his comments come amid growing talks of a coalition, fueled by the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai from the APC to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
