Peter Obi Rejects OK Movement's Campaign Council Formation
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), publicly rejected the creation of a Presidential Campaign Council by the OK Movement, a support group aimed at mobilizing support for his 2027 presidential bid. This statement was made during an appearance on Arise News’ Prime Time programme on Thursday night.
The OK Movement, which is named after Obi and his running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso, had recently announced a 59-member campaign council on September 17. However, Obi emphasized that such support groups should not assume roles that belong to a political party, asserting that the NDC is the political platform for him and his supporters.
He expressed that he was not informed about the council's formation and deemed it inappropriate for the OK Movement to act independently. The NDC has distanced itself from the OK Movement's actions and plans to unveil its own campaign council soon, warning that the situation could destabilize the party.
