@gabriel.ceo: Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has appointed Barr. Kenneth Okonkwo as his spokesperson for the 2027 presidential campaign. The appointment has generated mixed reactions, with some Nigerians describing it as a test of the former Nollywood actor-turned-politician's integrity, given his previous criticism of Atiku. The development has also reignited discussions about Okonkwo's past remarks, in which he described Atiku as someone with "a propensity for corruption" who had "infected the next generation with a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of corruption." Attention is now focused on how Okonkwo will defend and promote the presidential ambition of a man he once sharply criticized, as Nigerians watch to see how he addresses his previous statements in the weeks ahead. Reacting to his appointment, Okonkwo reportedly described the opportunity as a "talent discovery" by Atiku Abubakar.
