Veteran Nollywood actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo has been appointed as the spokesperson for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Okonkwo, announced the appointment on his X page (formerly Twitter), where he thanked Atiku for giving him the opportunity to serve in the role.
Okonkwo wrote; “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.”
“Rather than pick offence against any of his associates for expressing genuine reservations of any action taken, HE AA always opts for dialogue and compromise that will engender solution to problems.”
“At a dialogue with HE AA and other well-meaning members of the African Democratic Congress, the interests of the South-East have been discussed and guaranteed within the existing challenges posed by the Electoral Act, 2026, and the realities on the ground.”
“My sincere gratitude to my family, fans, and friends for their support and prayers, which God answered in covering my errors and colouring my efforts to pave way for this appointment. I still covet your prayers for wisdom, courage, provision, and protection needed to carry out this challenging post, which will usher in a glorious and great Nigeria.”
