Atiku Names Kenneth Okonkwo as Spokesperson After ADC VP Dispute

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has appointed actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo as his spokesperson ahead of the 2027 election. This follows Okonkwo’s public criticism of the party’s choice of vice-presidential candidate. Announcing the role on his official social media, Okonkwo thanked Atiku for the trust and praised the former vice president’s inclusive leadership style. He said Atiku prefers dialogue and compromise over alienating associates with differing views. Okonkwo also revealed that discussions have taken place about protecting South-East interests despite challenges in the Electoral Act. He expressed gratitude to key party figures and asked for prayers as he takes on this new role.

Do you think bringing Okonkwo aboard can really shift campaign momentum, or is it mainly for show?

It's interesting that Atiku picked someone who openly criticized the VP choice, seems like strategic reconciliation or risk of mixed messages.

I'm not convinced this move will appease critics; appointing a former detractor might fuel more internal disagreements.

Atiku's team should clearly define Okonkwo's role to avoid confusion and ensure consistent messaging before the 2027 campaign heats up.
