Okonkwo: Obi vote aids Tinubu

Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC) and former Labour Party spokesperson, has publicly stated that any vote for Peter Obi>>> in the 2027 Nigerian presidential election would indirectly benefit incumbent President Bola Tinubu>>>. Okonkwo argued that a divided opposition would only strengthen Bola Tinubu>>>'s chances of securing a second term. He criticized Peter Obi>>>'s reported withdrawal from coalition talks with the ADC, alleging that Peter Obi>>> was unwilling to participate in a competitive primary election. Okonkwo also claimed that Senator Victor Umeh>>> had previously suggested that the South-East's best chance for the presidency was through an alliance with northern political interests, with Peter Obi>>> serving as vice president. Okonkwo warned opposition supporters about the implications of vote splitting, emphasizing that it could favor the ruling Nigeria — All Progressives Congress (APC).
