Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has appointed actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo as his new spokesperson, in a move widely seen as part of efforts to strengthen his public communication and political engagement.
The appointment places Okonkwo at the forefront of Atiku’s media and public affairs operations, where he will be responsible for articulating the former presidential candidate’s positions on national issues, responding to political developments, and engaging with the public on behalf of the former vice president.
Okonkwo, a lawyer and prominent political figure, is expected to play a central role in shaping Atiku’s public messaging amid Nigeria’s evolving political landscape and growing discussions ahead of future political contests.
While further details surrounding the appointment have yet to be disclosed, the decision marks a significant addition to Atiku’s political team as he continues to position himself on key national issues.
