Atiku and Okonkwo: Forging New Political Alliances
Nollywood actor and lawyer Kenneth Okonkwo recently met with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar following his departure from the Labour Party. The consultative meeting focused on discussing strategies to address Nigeria’s current challenges. Okonkwo emphasized the need for collaboration among well-meaning Nigerians to restore the nation’s path to greatness.
Okonkwo had previously been a spokesperson for the Labour Party and a supporter of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, during the last election. However, he became disillusioned with the party’s leadership and criticized Obi for lacking direction, leading to his departure.
The meeting with Atiku Abubakar, who was the presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections, signifies a potential shift in Okonkwo’s political affiliations. Both leaders discussed the importance of cooperation among key stakeholders to navigate the country towards a better future.
