Actor and member of the coalition group, Kenneth Okonkwo, says he will be throwing his support to any Northern contestant who will be running against President Tinubu come 2027.
Okonkwo who was a spokesperson for the Labour party before he resigned from the party in July 2024, following his grievance with the leadership of the party and its ex-presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stated this when he appeared on Channels TV last night July 8.
He argued that to unseat Tinubu, the ADC coalition should present a northern political heavyweight like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, ex-Sokoto governor Aminu Tambuwal, among others.
“My strategy this time around is that I am going to support a northerner in 2027. It must be a northerner that the whole north is willing to support. If the whole north is willing to support an Atiku, why not?
If the whole north is willing to support a Tambuwal, why not? The person must be qualified, and if he has experience in the presidency, it is an added advantage, and when he puts up something from the south, that will push him through” he said
