Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has appointed a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Kenneth Okonkwo, as his spokesperson, weeks after the actor-turned-politician publicly criticised the party’s choice of vice-presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
Okonkwo announced the appointment in a statement signed on Thursday on his official X page, expressing gratitude to Atiku for the confidence reposed in him.
“I give God all the glory to be appointed by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar as his Spokesperson. I thank HE AA for the immense confidence reposed in me,” he said.
