Kenneth Okonkwo, a former member of the Labour Party, believes that the current generation of politicians must make way for younger leaders to take charge of the country.

As the former spokesman of the LP presidential campaign council, he called on President Bola Tinubu, former presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi to step aside before the 2027 elections.

He stated that these three individuals are not suitable to run in the 2027 election, emphasizing that they have disappointed the Nigerian people.

During an interview on Arise TV, the Nollywood actor also criticized the opposition for their inability to unite and collaborate against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to Okonkwo: “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.”
