KENNETH OKONKWO APPOINTED THE SPOKESPERSON FOR HIS EXCELLENCY ATIKU ABUBAKAR

I give God all the glory to be appointed by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar as his Spokesperson. I thank HE AA for the immense confidence reposed in me.

This appointment speaks volume of the democratic credentials of HE AA. Rather than pick offence against any of his associates for expressing genuine reservations of any action taken, HE AA always opts for dialogue and compromise that will engender solution to problems.

At a dialogue with HE AA and other well meaning members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), the interests of the South-East have been discussed and guaranteed within the existing challenges posed by the Electoral Act, 2026, and the realities on the ground.

I extend special thanks to my brother and friend, Dr Kashim Imam CFR, for his kind and special intervention and counsel which revealed a special place for all Nigerians irrespective of place of origin, ethnicity, religion, sex, age, or cultural affiliations in the emerging political scenario.

My gratitude extends to Mr Ralphs Nwosu, former National Chairman of ADC, for his continuous sacrifice which has assisted in consolidating the ADC to face the numerous challenges put in its way since the formation of the coalition.

My regards to Dr Ekene Onwuka, SSA to HE AA on Special Duties, for his efforts towards raising a formidable team to ensure the election of HE AA come 2027.

My sincere gratitude to my family, fans, and friends for their support and prayers which God answered in covering my errors and colouring my efforts to pave way for this appointment. I still covet your prayers for wisdom, courage, provision, and protection needed to carry out this challenging post which will usher in a glorious and great Nigeria.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Kenneth Okonkwo
Spokesperson for HE AA.

ADC uploads Atiku, Amaechi to INEC portal ahead 2027 polls

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the successful upload of the names and particulars of its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and vice-presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) nomination portal, marking a major milestone in its preparations for the 2027 general elections.

The party’s national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed the development in a post on his verified X handle on Tuesday night.

“We are pleased to announce that we have successfully uploaded the names and particulars of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar (GCON), and our vice presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi (CON), to the nomination portal of the @INECNigeria,” Abdullahi wrote.

“This marks another important step in our preparations for the 2027 general election and our commitment to offer Nigerians a credible alternative built on competence, unity, and national renewal,” he added.

The development came as political parties intensify the process of submitting candidates’ details through INEC’s dedicated nomination portal ahead of the statutory deadline.

The portal is used by registered political parties to upload the particulars and sworn affidavits of candidates seeking elective offices.

The ADC had earlier unveiled former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as its presidential flag bearer, with former Rivers State governor and ex-minister of transportation Rotimi Amaechi emerging as his running mate, as part of the party’s strategy to challenge the ruling APC and President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.

The successful submission places the ADC among the frontline parties that have completed a crucial stage of the nomination process, reinforcing its claim of being prepared to mount a serious contest in the next general election.

Kenneth can now get the money to pay Obi. Shebi Atiku don help am pay rent already.

IkeOnyia:
Atiku has shown that he is a better manager of human resources than Obi. The way he brought Amaechi and Okonkwo back to his side very quickly is worthy of emulation from a lazy runaway coward like Peter Obi.
