Kenneth Okonkwo Calls for New State in Southeast, Criticizes APC's Tactics

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), advocates for the establishment of a new state in the Southeast region of Nigeria, emphasizing the long-overdue need for the creation of Adada State. Okonkwo accuses the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of employing intimidation tactics and disrupting opposition activities in various states like Kaduna, Lagos, and Ekiti.

He alleges that the APC is manipulating state institutions to its advantage, violating electoral principles, and suppressing opposition voices in a bid to retain power in the 2027 general elections. Despite these challenges, Okonkwo expresses optimism in the ADC's prospects and urges Nigerians to support transparent and just democratic reforms.
