OK Movement Critiques NDC's Late Campaign Council Reveal

The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement has criticized the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for unveiling its National Campaign Council too late for the 2027 general elections. John Ughulu, the Director-General of the OK Movement, expressed concerns about the NDC's preparedness, stating that political ambition without effective grassroots mobilization would not ensure electoral success.

He made these remarks in a statement on Monday in Abuja, following the NDC's announcement of its campaign council composition. Ughulu highlighted that the OK Movement had already established a strong grassroots structure, predicting that many individuals appointed to the NDC council would seek support from them.

The NDC named Senator Seriake Dickson as chairman of its National Campaign Council, with Peter Obi as co-chairman and Senator Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe as vice-chairman. Other notable appointments included Babachir Lawal and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.

Ughulu and the OK Movement's coordinators were not included in these appointments, leading to further disputes regarding the movement's independence and role in supporting Obi and Kwankwaso.
