Kenneth Okonkwo, former spokesperson of the Labour Party.
Former Labour Party spokesperson Kenneth Okonkwo has commended former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for looking beyond past criticisms to recognise what he described as his contribution to nation-building.
Okonkwo spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, a day after he was unveiled as spokesperson for Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
The politician, who once served as Peter Obi’s campaign spokesperson, said he ended his association with the former Anambra State governor in 2024 after concluding that Obi lacked the leadership qualities needed to govern Nigeria.
“As a public affairs analyst that I have been from 2009 before I ever met Peter Obi, I proceeded with my job. You were one of the earliest interviewers that interviewed me in July 2024 when I said I wasn’t speaking for him anymore because he’s not decisive.
