Kenneth Okonkwo, campaign spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has declared that President Bola Tinubu will not secure victory in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking during an interview with Symfoni TV, Okonkwo said Tinubu’s administration would come to an end after the 2027 election, insisting that the political path was now open for Atiku to emerge victorious.
The Nollywood actor-turned-politician described the Tinubu administration as the worst in Nigeria’s history and alleged that the President would struggle to win any state without electoral malpractice.
Okonkwo recalled the 2023 general election, noting that the opposition entered the contest without controlling any state government but still performed strongly in several states.
“When we campaigned for the 2023 general elections, we had no governor. We had nothing, and Tinubu did not win more states than us.
“Now that he is the worst President Nigeria has ever had, do you think he will win any state without rigging? Tinubu will not win any state. So the path to victory is very clear. And by the grace of God, we will win,” he said.
Okonkwo’s remarks come as political parties and opposition groups intensify preparations and campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections.
BACKSTORY:
Political activities are already intensifying ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, with opposition parties positioning themselves to challenge President Bola Tinubu, who is seeking another term in office.
Atiku Abubakar, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has emerged as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), while several opposition figures have joined the party and its campaign ahead of the next election.
Kenneth Okonkwo, who previously served as a spokesperson for the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential campaign before moving to the ADC, has become one of Atiku’s prominent campaign voices. His latest comments reflect the growing confidence among opposition supporters that the 2027 election could produce a change in government.
