Kenneth Okonkwo, a politician, attorney, and well-known actor, has announced that all zones will be eligible to run for president on the newly established All Democratic Party (ADA) ticket.

According to Okonkwo, who served as the spokesperson for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, interested candidates from all regions will be permitted to exercise their constitutional and democratic rights.

In an interview with Channels Television on Sunday Politics, the attorney made this claim and said that no one would be prevented from running for the coalition’s ticket.

“I have said it clearly, nobody is going to stop anybody from contesting for the presidential ticket in the coalition, nobody,” he said.

“Politicians have shown that it is very difficult to trust them even when the person promises one term. So, if somebody has taken a term from the South and it is in the middle of the game and the person is not performing like Tinubu, you are going to get into a problem.

“If you get another Southerner, he is going to stay there for eight years.

“The North will say no, this is injustice. Nobody will allow Tinubu to continue because he is not performing.

“So, the best is to throw it open. When the best comes in, every other person will support him and the person will promise to do four years.”

Late last week, it was announced that the national coalition group has chosen to compete for president in 2027 with a new party, the All Democratic Party, ADA.

Among other prominent politicians in the nation, the coalition includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Governor of Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai, former Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, and former Senate President David Mark.
