ADC chieftain claims APC used propaganda to oust Jonathan in 2015
ADC chieftain Kenneth Okonkwo accused the All Progressives Congress of being a party that gained power in 2015 through propaganda, specifically citing former Minister of Information Lai Mohammed as the leader of a campaign against former President Goodluck Jonathan. Okonkwo said Jonathan was accused of being clueless, corrupt, insensitive, and incompetent, and blamed for failing to control security in the North-East and for removing the fuel subsidy. He claimed Jonathan did not retaliate against the APC or target political rivals, instead stating that no politician's ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian, and that he conceded defeat gracefully, praised Muhammadu Buhari before results were announced, and stepped down calmly. The remarks were made in a post on X (Twitter) on July 20, 2026, as reported by Seun Opejobi. This narrative highlights how political propaganda shapes public perception and electoral outcomes, reminding voters to scrutinize campaign messages and consider the role of rhetoric in democratic processes. As political rhetoric intensifies ahead of the 2027 elections, readers should critically evaluate claims from all sides, seek multiple sources, and reflect on how propaganda influences trust in institutions and voting decisions.
