Veteran Nollywood actor-turned-politician and spokesman for African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Kenneth Okonkwo, has slammed President Bola Tinubu over his Independence Day address, in which the president described Nigeria in 2023 as a “sick patient” suffering from cancer.
According to the ADC chieftain, Nigeria is a blessed country and not one suffering from cancer. Okonkwo stated this in a post on his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
He wrote: “God forbid! With respect to President Tinubu, Nigeria is a blessed country that has no cancer.
“According to Wike, it is the All Progressives Congress (APC) that has cancer, and Tinubu’s leadership style has made the cancer metastasise.
“Tinubu met fuel at N195, but it has metastasised to N1,500. He met the naira at about N450 to a dollar, but it has metastasised to about N1,400 per dollar. He met about N77 trillion in total debt, but it has metastasised to N166.6 trillion in total debt, and he is still borrowing. Insecurity is at its worst under Tinubu.
“He has been away from Nigeria for more than 290 days and about 52 times in just about three and a half years. Transportation and food costs are horrible, electricity and employment are absent, poverty is ravaging, roads are deplorable, and the rule of law and human rights are being trampled on. No macroeconomic index is good.
“What Nigeria needs to do to avoid its demise from Tinubu’s terminal cancerous leadership style is to democratically cut out Tinubu and the APC’s cancerous leadership style by voting them out on 16 January 2027, and voting in HE Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the Coalition Party, to rescue Nigeria from its inevitable cancerous demise under Tinubu’s watch and make life affordable for Nigerians through the introduction of refined petroleum production subsidy.”
