Kenneth Okonkwo: Skipping of campaign rallies a sign Tinubu is unwell

Kenneth Okonkwo, actor turned politician, has said President Bola Tinubu’s hint of staying away from some campaign rallies is an indication that he is not fit.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a renowned actor who has transitioned into politics, has expressed his belief that President Bola Tinubu's decision to skip certain campaign rallies indicates that he is not physically fit to serve. At the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Tinubu disclosed that he would not be present at every event, promising to dedicate time to speaking with Nigerians.

He explained that the grueling nature of the campaign should not interfere with his duties as president, asserting that Nigeria requires immediate attention and that the office of the presidency does not take a break.

Okonkwo, who is a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC), took to the media to criticize Tinubu's health. He argued that the President lacks the physical capacity to undertake the demanding task of a presidential campaign and urged the President to step down, allowing a healthier candidate to take over.

Okonkwo compared Tinubu's behavior to a situation where Governor Hope Uzodimma suggested that Tinubu would remain in office to govern while the campaign continued. He suggested that the APC was indirectly advising the President to stay in a hospital and recover from his health issues instead of appearing visibly unwell at campaign events.

Okonkwo firmly stated that Tinubu should resign due to his apparent unfitness for the presidency, emphasizing that Nigerians deserve a president who is physically capable of governing effectively. He urged the Nigerian populace to vote for Atiku Abubakar, the ADC candidate, who he believes would provide a more stable and competent leadership. Okonkwo concluded by suggesting that Nigerians should discard Tinubu as an absentee President and support Atiku Abubakar for a better future for Nigeria.
