Kenneth Okonkwo, former spokesperson of the Labour Party.
The spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Kenneth Okonkwo, has dismissed reports that he opposed the emergence of former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the party’s vice-presidential candidate.
Okonkwo also said Atiku recognised his worth despite his previous criticisms of the former vice president, while accusing his former principal and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of betraying him.
Speaking on Channels Television on Thursday, Okonkwo clarified that his earlier comments on the vice-presidential slot reflected a geopolitical preference for a South-East candidate rather than opposition to Amaechi.
“I do not know where you got that from,” he said when asked whether he still opposed Amaechi’s nomination.
