NDC Disowns OK Movement's Campaign Council Amid Crisis
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) encountered a significant internal crisis shortly after securing an Appeal Court judgement that restored its registration. On September 21, 2026, the NDC's leadership clashed with the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement (OKM), a campaign group for Peter Obi and Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, the party's presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the 2027 general election.
The OKM had recently unveiled a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council, which the NDC disowned, stating it was unauthorized and not constituted by the party's leadership. NDC National Chairman, Senator Cleopas Moses, directed John Ugulu, the convener of the OKM, to face disciplinary action for his actions during the party's Lagos State primary and for disregarding party authority.
The NDC reiterated that only its National Working Committee has the authority to establish campaign structures and warned against parallel organizations. The OKM responded by asserting its right to operate independently within the party's framework.
