Nollywood actor, lawyer and former spokesman of the Labour Party (LP) presidential campaign council, Kenneth Okonkwo, had said there is a need for new politicians to emerge and contest the 2027 presidential election..
He made this known recently while featuring on a programme on Arise Television.
Speaking during the interview, he charged President Bola Tinubu, 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, and his Labour Party counterpart, Peter Obi to step aside.
Okonkwo argued the three prominent politicians are not fit to contest in the 2027 election, stressing that they have failed Nigerians.

The thespian also criticized the opposition for their failure to form a consolidation and work together against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Okonkwo said: “I completely agree with you that we need new faces, 100%, and that was why I have said that Atiku, Peter Obi, and Tinubu should step aside.
“The reason is that the ruling party has failed, and the opposition has failed. Are you aware that in the House of Representatives, you have more opposition members than the ruling class?
“I’m saying you don’t just finish an election, and the first thing you start talking about is the next election. You consolidate and form alliances amongst yourselves to work together as the opposition.
“If all the opposition members in the House of Representatives had come together, they would have produced the speaker and the vice.”
