Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has claimed that any vote cast for Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the 2027 elections would ultimately strengthen President Bola Tinubu’s chances of victory.
Okonkwo made the remark during an interview with Symfoni, stressing that Obi’s candidacy risks splitting opposition votes.
“It’s either you are working for Tinubu directly or indirectly because when you divide the votes of some of the coalition or the opposition, you are still making Tinubu to win,” he said.
He further criticized Obi’s political moves, noting that the former Labour Party candidate joined the ADC voluntarily but left shortly before the close of primaries.
“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? You cannot compete in primaries and you want to be a president of a challenged country,” Okonkwo argued.
Concluding his remarks, Okonkwo warned:“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.”
His comments add to the growing debate over coalition strategies and opposition unity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
