BREAKING: Kenneth Okonkwo makes u-turn, withdraws support for Atiku

He wrote on his X handle:

I heard from the social media that ADC has picked its vice presidential candidate from the South-South. If this is true, it is unfortunate, as this will continue the crude marginalisation of the South-East.

This Geo-Political Zone has neither produced a President or Vice President since 1999. To deny the South-East the opportunity to produce the President or Vice President in ADC in 2027 will amount to perpetuating the marginalisation.

The ADC was founded by Ralphs Nwosu from the South-East in 2005. He made the sacrifice to give up the party in 2025 for the coalition to usher in a better Nigeria. He couldn't have made that sacrifice to marginalise his own people.

I did not join the coalition to assist in the further marginalisation of my own people. I am of the opinion that if we made a sacrifice to give up the National Chairman and the President, it will amount to unpardonable injustice to deny us the Vice President in 2027.

I joined politics to fight for a better Nigeria where no region, Geo-Political Zone, or person will be marginalised.

The only favour I asked Atiku Abubakar, who openly declared that he is the pathway to the presidency of the South-East, is to show it by choosing someone from the South-East to be his Vice.

If it is confirmed that he has chosen a candidate from the South-South, I wish him well. I am not favourably disposed to campaigning for any presidential ticket that does not have a person of South-East origin as President or Vice in 2027.

His real reason could be the de registration of ADC by the high court...


This marginalization talk doesn't add up. He could have supported Peter obi in peace if it was about producing a candidate/president from the east!

...better don't show face in NDC because you must pay the 5billion ooo. Pls support Tinubu and the APC, those of us with Obi are ok with our principal because of his integrity

I just love Kenneth Okonkwo

He has a way of making things fall apart.

Stirring both ADC and NDC at the same time!

Our great party might consider to lure him. He seems to be very good with constructive and strategic chaos.

His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has always appreciated strategic brilliance with specialized subject matter.

who is taking this efulefu comedian seriously?

You are right , he is jumping a sinking boat

Abeg make una check this man ooo. Seems he is mentally unstable

Na lie.. we de obidient no gree for dis one Kenneth must not break loose from bondage .. he must support Atiku till he loses the election to the OK revolution

I smell a rat here...this distraction is all about the highest bidder damage stuff..this guy needs Thiefnumbu touch....and all will be ok..

From a strategic point of view, there's nothing for ADC in the Southeast. Obi made sure of it. Historically, the Southeast is also the only region that doesn't split their votes, although they almost always end up backing the wrong horse. Every other region in the country put their eggs in multiple baskets as a form of insurance except for the Southeast. In 2023, Atiku made Okowa from the Southsouth V.P and even though he didn't win Delta, he won Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. Politics is not an emotional sport.

These clowns. Just switch like chameleon!

Oga, you don collect the rent money wey Atiku promise you. Pack enter house make you shut up.

This living in bondage man is a 'food is ready' politician...anywhere belle face

Sense don dey enter im head small small albeit too late

Well, he has choice to support whoever he feels like supporting.


However, if you are Atiku, what would you have done in this situation: Atiku has options of picking a vice from any of the 3 Southern zones, that will give him the highest number of votes.

SouthEast: Best option is Obi, he opted out of the party with the believe that he is qualified to be President and can be President.

SouthSouth: Amaechi, remained in the party, contested the primaries.

Southwest: Makinde, not a member of the party but a Presidential candidate of another party.

It's a game of numbers and Atiku has chosen who he feels will give him the numbers, especially when PO ain't ready for such arrangements.

Reality is that having any hope whatsoever to beat the incumbent should be about the most practicable means and route to do so, not just to "satisfy" anyone,,,,its a tough game ahead.

Dunce he does not want to marginalize his people, yet he keeps denigrating an aspirant from his zone for Atiku

Oya go back to APC and collect appointment like Bwala

You will soon see them praising Okwokwo! Same people shouting, crucify him yesterday

Lol, you never get to bus-stop.

You can join Peter Obi or rejoin APC again, stomach infrastructure people

Hehehe 🤣😂

ADC rejects will now troop to our party cap in hand 🤗

Oh what a time to be alive

Ken okonkwo is an actor normally.

He’s still living in bondage
Prodigal Son 😂

This one wey mumu like APC hungry supporters

We dash him to Oyo people

He’s still living in bondage

..
This toad should go and sit down.

Nobody send you.
.

Atiku nor gree pay im rent too?

Why can't we just have a Messiah? Just come in vammmmm within 6 years turn things around like the Asian tigers? I am sick of this Igbo, yoruba, Hausa, he must be Muslim or Hindu talk. So what will having an Igbo VP or SP do? What has the Muslims benefited from a MM ticket too.

Ahhhhh
This matter go long fah

Kenneth should bury his head in shame.... Nnamdi Kanu said it long ago..... You and other political saboteurs licking fulani fingers to betray your people for your own selfish gains will end in total shame and humiliation....
