NDC Rejects John Oghulu's OK Movement as Unrecognized

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has publicly declared that the OK Movement, led by John Oghulu, is not recognized by the party. This statement was issued by Theo Abu Agada, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, on a Wednesday.

The NDC's position follows a declaration from Oghulu's faction of the OK Movement, which stated it would not surrender its organizational structure to the NDC. Oghulu contended that the OK Movement is an independent political organization, distinct from conventional support groups.

He also dismissed the NDC's criticism of the movement's campaign council as “nonsensical.” Senator Seriake Dickson (Bayelsa West), the NDC National Leader, criticized the OK Movement's activities, asserting that support groups should not act as rival structures to political parties. Agada further clarified that Oghulu's faction is working against the NDC and the Obidient Movement, emphasizing that the recognized OK Movement is collaborating with the NDC for the 2027 election.
