Okonkwo argued at the beginning of his address that democracy without an active opposition contains a political weakness that will eventually lead to its destruction.
He stated at the 0:07 mark that the essence of democracy is power for the people and a government installed through elections that offer a genuine necessity for choice.
The politician insisted at the 0:21 mark that if there are no opposition parties, there can be no choices, and a single-candidate system constitutes an imposition.
He revealed at the 0:30 mark that the APC is attempting to force a one-party state on Nigeria, which prompted the gathering of opposition parties in Ibadan.
Okonkwo stated at the 0:46 mark that the opposition will resist the attempt to impose a one-party system with everything within their power.
He revealed at the 1:04 mark that the coalition will field candidates for every office, from the presidency down to all other elective positions.
The legal practitioner argued at the 1:10 mark that the opposition will dismantle efforts by the ruling party to ensure that the presidency runs unopposed in 2027.
