NDC's Registration Sparks Tension with Obi-Kwankwaso Camp
The Democratic Congress (NDC) has begun a registration exercise in preparation for the 2027 elections, leading to a rift with the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement and the OK Movement. John Ughulu, Director-General of the OK Movement, stated that they are an independent political organization and will not submit their structure to the NDC, arguing that neither the Nigerian constitution nor the NDC's constitution grants the party authority over independent groups.
Habibu Muhammed, spokesman for the Kwankwasiyya, described the disagreements as a natural part of the NDC's evolution and called for the leadership to allow support groups to operate independently. Yunusa Tanko, National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, urged all parties to focus on the 2027 election instead of engaging in disputes.
Peter Obi was ratified as the NDC's presidential candidate on May 29, 2026, after leaving the African Democratic Congress (ADC) earlier that month.
