2027: Anyone Voting Peter Obi Is Voting For Tinubu — Kenneth Okonkwo
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has said that supporting the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2027 election would ultimately benefit President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo argued that a divided opposition would increase Tinubu’s chances of securing victory at the polls.
“It’s either you are working for Tinubu directly or indirectly because when you divide the votes of the coalition or the opposition, you are still making Tinubu win,” he said.
Okonkwo also criticised Obi’s decision to leave the ADC shortly before the deadline for political activities, questioning the reasons behind the move.
“Nobody forced Peter Obi to enter the ADC. He entered on his own, and one week to the end of the closure of time, he left and gave reasons. What reason was that?” he asked.
He further faulted Obi for refusing to participate in party primaries, saying, “You cannot compete in primaries and you want to be president of a challenged country.”
The former Labour Party spokesperson maintained that voting for Obi in 2027 would indirectly support Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“Let me tell you the truth, in 2027, anybody voting for Peter Obi is voting for Tinubu. Don’t say that I didn’t tell you,” he added.
