Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has appointed lawyer, actor, and politician Kenneth Okonkwo as his official spokesperson.
The appointment is seen as a strategic move as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections begin to gain momentum across the country, The News Edition reports.
Okonkwo, a prominent political commentator and former presidential campaign spokesperson, is expected to lead media engagements and articulate Atiku’s positions on national issues, policy matters, and developments surrounding the next presidential election.
The move further strengthens Atiku’s communication team as discussions over alliances, party realignments, and preparations for the 2027 electoral contest continue to shape Nigeria’s political landscape.
