Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has appointed Nollywood actor-turned-politician Kenneth Okonkwo as his spokesperson ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The appointment is part of ongoing consultations and strategic engagements as Atiku continues to strengthen his political structure in preparation for the next presidential race.

Okonkwo, who has been active in national political discourse in recent years, is expected to play a key role in communicating the former Vice President’s positions, policies, and campaign messages.

The development comes amid increasing political realignments and preparations by major political actors ahead of the 2027 elections.

Atiku’s camp is yet to release full details on the scope of the appointment or the formal structure of his campaign communications team.
