Cross Okonkwo Endorse Atiku
On Wednesday, the former BBNaija housemate had shared a screenshot of the video call he had with the vice-president in what seemed like an endorsement.
Sharing the screenshot on his Twitter page, Okonkwo revealed that he had spoken with Atiku, who he described as his father, before proceeding to ask who the public thought would be the politician’s running partner.
“Had a quick chat with my dad, Atiku. He’s so funny guys. Who do you think his Vp will be? Just thinking out loud,” he wrote.
