Actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo has withdrawn his support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar following the emergence of former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi as the vice-presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2027 election.

Okonkwo announced his position in a statement posted on his X account on Monday, shortly after reports confirmed Amaechi’s selection as Atiku’s running mate.
