Former Labour Party presidential campaign spokesman, Kenneth Okonkwo, has stated that the only way to unseat President Bola Tinubu’s “incompetent” government is for the opposition parties to unite.

Okonkwo recalled how the All Progressives Congress (APC) formed a strong alliance in 2013, which helped them win the presidential election in 2015.

He said, “My game plan is simple. If the opposition is serious about taking power from this incompetent government, they must unite and act as one because that was exactly what the APC did in 2013, which helped them win in 2015.

“I believe in coalition. When I was leaving, I said I was open to discussions with every group to consolidate the opposition so that we can remove this government.”

The Nollywood actor-turned politician, stated that he would support either a southerner or a northerner willing to stay in office after a single four-year term.

Speaking at the Sunday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, on Channels Television, he stated that he believes in equity and fairness between the northern and southern regions of the country, in line with the unwritten rule of rotational presidency.

“Everybody should come together. It is something that can be discussed. Who is going to do four years will influence who I am going to support because I still believe in equity and justice,” he said.

Okonkwo, who resigned from the Labour Party in February, said he was open to joining a coalition aiming to unseat President Bola Tinubu of the APC in the next election.

His comment comes following the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, from APC to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
