Tinubu Must Stay Movement Names Ex-Obi Organiser as New Director-General

Marcel Ngogbehei has been appointed Director-General of the Tinubu Must Stay Movement's partnership with the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration. The announcement came on October 14, 2026, in Abuja from Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi.

Abdullahi holds multiple roles: he chairs the movement's Board of Trustees, serves as NITDA Director-General, and holds the position of Deputy Director within the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Ngogbehei's move represents a significant political realignment.

Previously, he played a key role in mobilisation surrounding Peter Obi's 2023 presidential campaign, which ultimately proved unsuccessful. He held the position of Director of Strategy within Obi support structures.

In his current appointment, Ngogbehei will focus on coordinating grassroots work, fostering community engagement, and overseeing civic accountability initiatives. These responsibilities form part of the movement's preparations for electoral contests scheduled in 2027.

Abdullahi highlighted Ngogbehei's suitability, drawing on their shared history spanning more than twenty years. The appointment statement notes that Ngogbehei possesses experience working in public sectors across both Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

His background encompasses involvement in technology projects, grassroots political organising, and community leadership endeavours. Specific details regarding his UK public sector roles or the precise scope of his technology work remain unspecified in available materials.

As the Tinubu Must Stay Movement strengthens its organisational framework ahead of 2027 elections, this appointment reflects a strategic emphasis on leaders with proven track records. Ngogbehei's demonstrated ability to mobilise supporters for opposition campaigns indicates the group is seeking individuals capable of building extensive political networks and executing grassroots coordination at scale.
