Northern States Set to Vote ADC, Says Kenneth Okonkwo
Kenneth Okonkwo, the spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar's presidential campaign, announced during an interview on AIT’s Democracy Today that the 19 Northern states have agreed to support the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the forthcoming election. He attributed this support to growing frustration with the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu's administration, citing issues such as the minimum wage and rising petrol prices.
Okonkwo stated, “This government is irrational from their decisions. They are anti-people,” highlighting that the current minimum wage of 70,000 Naira is insufficient to meet basic needs due to high fuel prices.
He also predicted that the opposition would gain traction in the South-South region and potentially win three states in the Southwest, referencing internal crises within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo and Ogun states. Furthermore, Okonkwo claimed that Tinubu lacks popularity in Lagos, his political stronghold.
