NDC Faces Internal Strife Over Campaign Council Ahead of Elections
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) is experiencing a crisis regarding the formation of its presidential campaign council, just 81 days before the January 16, 2027 elections. The NDC appointed Ibrahim Abdulkarim as Director-General and Ikenna Enekweizu as secretary of the council.
The council is chaired by Senator Seriake Dickson, with Peter Obi as co-chairman and Rabiu Kwankwaso as co-vice chairman. Criticism arose from the OK Movement, led by John Ughulu, who questioned the NDC's readiness for the elections and criticized the timing of the campaign council's announcement.
Ughulu highlighted the lack of a clear strategy and structure, emphasizing that the OK Movement had already established its own campaign council. The ongoing friction between the NDC leadership and the OK Movement reflects deeper issues regarding control and campaign strategy for Obi and Kwankwaso.
