NDC Dismisses Unauthorized Obi-Kwankwaso Campaign Council
The NDC, under the leadership of National Chairman Sen. Moses Cleopas, has officially rejected the Obi-Kwankwaso Campaign Council, which was announced as a 59-member body ahead of the 2027 general elections. Cleopas described the announcement as unauthorized and urged the public and media to disregard it.
He stated that all candidates must operate under the NDC's authority and discipline, rather than as independent entities. Cleopas emphasized that only the party leadership has the authority to constitute and announce a presidential campaign council.
He acknowledged the contributions of support groups but insisted they should not act as alternative structures. Additionally, John Ugulu, named as the Director-General of the movement, has been referred to the party's disciplinary organ due to his "excesses" during the party's primary election in Lagos and his repeated disregard for party authority.
The disciplinary process will follow the party's constitution. Cleopas reiterated the NDC's commitment to an issue-based campaign for a 'New Nigeria.'.
