Francis Nnoli Resigns from OK Movement Leadership Role

Francis Nnoli has resigned from his position as the National Head of Operations of the OK Movement. His resignation, announced on a Sunday, was prompted by a dispute regarding whether the OK Movement should operate independently or align with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Nnoli expressed concerns about political discipline, organizational structure, and the need for better coordination among support groups, candidates, and the political party. This disagreement intensified after the movement's Director-General, John Ugulu, asserted that the OK Movement was independent and did not require the NDC's endorsement for its activities.

The conflict also involved the formation of a Presidential Campaign Council under Ugulu's name, which the NDC distanced itself from, stating that only the recognized leadership could establish such a body. Nnoli indicated that the unclear relationship between the movement and the NDC made it difficult for him to continue in his role, although he reaffirmed his support for the Obi-Kwankwaso project.
