  Actor and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, says ahead of the 2027 election, any vote for the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, is a vote for president Bola Tinubu.   Okonkwo made this statement in an interview with Symfoni.   “It’s either you are working for Tinubu directly or indirectly because when you divide the votes of some of the coalition or the opposition, you are still making Tinubu to win.
