2027: ‘Sharks will swallow younger ones up’ – Okonkwo names preferred candidate to battle Tinubu

Keneth Okonkwo, a former Spokesperson of the Labour Party presidential candidate for the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has suggested his preferred candidate to battle the All Progressives Congress, APC and Bola Tinubu come 2027.
Speaking on Channels Television, Okonkwo believed that those he described as political sharks would swallow a younger presidential candidate, adding that what is needed is someone who is from the old cadre.
The lawyer and former actor went on to mention former Vice president, Atiku Abubakar, saying the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate for the 2023 general election would have been a hero assuming he comes into power and takes Nigeria back to the Obasanjo years.
“Any officer of the middle or lower cadre never succeeded in Nigeria and there is a reason for that, and that is why in Nigeria, we need a man of conscience who is experienced, who might even be from the old cadre that has made up his mind that he wants a new Nigeria.
“If you are expecting a younger person to come in, in the midst of these sharks, they will swallow him up.
“And I’m telling you, Obama can come to Nigeria and will not win the election. Not because people will not vote for him, but they will steal it from him.
“So what we have now in Nigeria is that we have a system that needs to be fought, that needs to be taken out.”
