A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, on Friday urged President Bola Tinubu to resign instead of waiting to contest in the 2027 elections.
Okonkwo made the call on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, where spoke on the now overturned Abuja Federal High Court judgment that deregistered the ADC.
He said, “Everything about this judgment is queued towards frustrating the opposition and trying to coronate Tinubu according to the Minister of Aviation and not elect him in 2027 because Tinubu by his performance has gone back to Bourdillion with one flight ticket by 2027.
“Is it in the area of insecurity? I told you when you want to give an example of insecurity, you don’t need to refer to yesterday because it’s a daily occurrence. In Plateau, in Benue people are massacred in their numbers, people are beheaded in Oyo State and they want you to praise them for what they would have prevented.
“Life and the destruction of life is better prevented than cured because when somebody is killed, it’s final. Let me tell you a personal story that pains me, my worker, because most of the things you hear are nothing compared to the actual thing that is going on.
“My worker, they kidnapped the mother in Kaduna State and they were asking them for ransom and when they could not provide the hundreds of millions they were asking for, they broke two fingers of the mother. He is the only child of the mother, you can know the pains that I’m going through seeing these things.
“These ones are not reported, the issue here is that Tinubu should not even allow the election to hold, he should resign and go in peace.”
