Kenneth Okonkwo, a former spokesman for the Labour Party’s presidential campaign, stated that he would back a candidate from the South or the North who is prepared to leave office after one four-year term.

In the midst of talks regarding a coalition in advance of the 2027 election, Okonkwo made this statement on the Sunday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a sociopolitical program broadcast on Channels Television.

Following the unwritten tradition of rotating president, the Nollywood star-turned-politician based his decision on justice and fairness between the country’s northern and southern regions.

“Everybody should come together. It is something that can be discussed. Who is going to do four years will influence who I am going to support because I still believe in equity and justice,” he said.

After leaving the Labour Party in February, Okonkwo stated that he would be willing to join a coalition that would seek to defeat All Progressives Congress (APC) President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming election.

According to ZINGTIE, the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai from the APC to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has accelerated coalition talks.

The lawyer insisted that the opposition must unite in order to overthrow the current government in the upcoming election, calling the APC government incompetent.

“My game plan is simple. If the opposition is serious about taking power from this incompetent government, they must unite and act as one because that was exactly what the APC did in 2013, which helped them win in 2015.

“I believe in coalition. When I was leaving, I said I was open to discussions with every group to consolidate the opposition so that we can remove this government,” he said.
