October 1: APC is Nigeria’s cancer – Kenneth Okonkwo blasts Tinubu

On October 1, APC spokesman Kenneth Okonkwo blasted President Bola Tinubu for comparing Nigeria's situation in 2023 to that of a cancer patient in his Independence Day address. Okonkwo rejected the President's assessment, stating that Nigeria is a blessed country and not one suffering from cancer. He criticized Tinubu's leadership, claiming it has exacerbated problems such as skyrocketing fuel and naira-to-dollar exchange rates, ballooning debt, insecurity, and poor infrastructure.

Okonkwo urged Nigerians to vote out Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 presidential election to prevent further decline and to elect Atiku Abubakar as a solution to Nigeria's "cancerous" leadership.
