NDC and OK Movement Clash Over 2027 Campaign Structure
The conflict between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, known as the OK Movement, regarding campaign structures for the 2027 general elections has escalated. Central to the dispute is the OK Movement's formation of a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council, which NDC national leader Senator Seriake Dickson labeled as “nonsensical.” During a reception for former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, in Abuja, Dickson asserted that support groups should complement political parties rather than compete with them.
He questioned the legitimacy of a support group establishing its own campaign council. In response, OK Movement's Director-General John Ughulu rejected Dickson's characterization, emphasizing that the movement is an independent entity with its own structures and not merely a support group for the NDC.
Ughulu stressed the importance of defining the identity of the OK Movement and affirmed its commitment to maintaining its independence.
