Okonkwo Calls for Tinubu's Resignation Over Health Concerns

During the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced that he would not attend all campaign rallies, citing the need to focus on governance. He stated, “You have warned me and asked me not to allow the rigour of the campaign to distract me from governance.” In response, Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar of the opposition African Democratic Congress, claimed that Tinubu's absence from rallies indicates he lacks the physical capacity for a presidential campaign.

Okonkwo urged Tinubu to resign, arguing that Nigeria requires a capable leader. He referenced comments from Governor Hope Uzodimma, suggesting that the APC is advising Tinubu to prioritize his health over public appearances.

Okonkwo concluded by encouraging Nigerians to vote for Atiku Abubakar in the next election, labeling Tinubu an absentee President.
