The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has appointed former presidential aspirant and actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, as the spokesperson for its 2027 presidential campaign, marking a key step in the party’s preparations for the next general election.
Okonkwo’s appointment comes after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar secured the party’s presidential ticket and named his running mate, completing the party’s presidential lineup.
The appointment is seen as part of the ADC’s broader strategy to strengthen its campaign structure and improve communication with Nigerians as political activities begin to intensify ahead of the 2027 general election.
With Okonkwo now serving as Atiku’s spokesperson, the party is expected to sharpen its public messaging and coordinate its campaign more effectively as it seeks to build momentum in the race for Nigeria’s highest office. Political observers believe the move signals the ADC’s determination to present a well-organized campaign team capable of engaging voters across the country in the months leading up to the election.
