Okonkwo Warns Peter Obi Vote Could Play into Tinubu’s Hands

Former Labour Party spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo argues that backing Peter Obi in 2027 may inadvertently boost President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid. He says a fragmented opposition could split votes among multiple contenders, giving the ruling APC an edge. Observers are divided: some call for a broad coalition to unseat the party in power, while others insist every candidate has the right to contest. As talks around coalitions and power blocs intensify, Okonkwo’s comments underscore the high-stakes strategy debate shaping Nigeria’s opposition ahead of the next presidential election.
