Obi-Kwankwaso Movement Critiques NDC's Campaign Council

The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement has publicly criticized the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding the composition of its National Campaign Council for the upcoming 2027 general elections. John Ughulu, the Director-General of the movement, stated that the NDC has delayed in establishing its campaign structure, questioning its readiness for the elections.

He emphasized that political ambition without effective grassroots mobilization would not secure electoral victory. Ughulu claimed that 90 percent of those named in the NDC's council would eventually seek assistance from the OK Movement's mobilization network.

He raised concerns about the NDC's lack of strategy and structure with less than three months until the elections. The NDC had recently appointed Senator Seriake Dickson as Chairman of the National Campaign Council, with Peter Obi as co-chairman.

Other notable appointments included Senator Cleopas Zuwoghe as vice-chairman and Rabiu Kwankwaso as co-vice-chairman. Ughulu and other coordinators from the OK Movement were omitted from the council, which followed a dispute over the movement's establishment of its own campaign council.
