Any Presidential Aspirant That Leaves The ADC Is Working For Tinubu – Okonkwo

Nollywood actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has sparked debate after saying that Peter Obi leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over the party’s presidential ticket could mean he is compromised.

Okonkwo made the statement during a recent interview while responding to speculation that Obi might leave the ADC if he fails to secure the party’s presidential nomination.

Reacting to the rumours, Okonkwo insisted that any presidential aspirant who exits the coalition at this stage would either become politically irrelevant or be working indirectly for Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

According to him, the opposition coalition currently facing internal challenges requires unity rather than division.

“If he leaves, will he now be a mobile squatter?” Okonkwo asked.

He added:

“Any presidential aspirant in ADC seeing what everybody is going through now that leaves ADC is either a mobile squatter or he is working for Tinubu.”

Okonkwo stressed that the political climate requires opposition leaders to remain united if they hope to challenge the ruling party effectively.

He argued that if coalition leaders are already facing difficulties even while working together, an individual leaving the group would have little chance of succeeding politically.

“If all the coalition leaders are facing this crisis even with unity, then what do you think one person can do going out?” he said.

His remarks have generated mixed reactions across social media and political circles, with some supporting the call for unity while others argue that political aspirants should be free to pursue their ambitions independently.
