NDC Chairmen Reject Obi-Kwankwaso Movement's Campaign Structures
Chairmen of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) have asserted the supremacy of the party's structures amid disagreements regarding the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections. Some chairmen accused the movement of sidelining existing party structures, while others claimed no disputes existed in their states.
The NDC leaders maintained that the Obidient and Kwankwasiyyah movements are merely support groups and cannot establish parallel campaign structures or conduct activities without the party's approval. This position followed the NDC's disowning of a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council announced by the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement on September 19.
NDC National Leader Seriake Dickson criticized the OK Movement's activities, warning against operating as parallel structures. In contrast, OK Movement Director-General John Ughulu rejected the NDC's stance, asserting the group's independence.
NDC state chairmen, including Osun State Chairman Charles Omidiji, emphasized that no movement is superior to the party and that candidates must involve the party in their campaign activities.
