2027: OK Movement faults NDC campaign council list
The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement has faulted the Nigeria Democratic Congress’s campaign council list, questioning the party’s preparedness for the 2027 elections Read More:…
The OK Movement — a coalition built around the political alliance of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the Labour Party and NNPP standard-bearers in the 2023 presidential election — has positioned itself as a rallying platform for Nigerians seeking an alternative to the two dominant parties ahead of 2027. The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has emerged as one of the vehicles being touted for this third-force ambition, making cohesion between the movement and the party's structures a closely watched indicator of how united the opposition camp actually is heading into the next election cycle.
The latest friction centres on the NDC's newly unveiled campaign council, reportedly a 155-member body announced on a Sunday night, which the OK Movement has publicly criticised as evidence of disorganisation and delay rather than readiness. Coverage across outlets agrees on the core complaint — questions over the party's structure and timing — but details on who exactly within the OK Movement is driving the criticism, how the NDC leadership has responded, and whether this reflects a deeper rift over control of the 2027 project remain thin, with only Vanguard naming a spokesperson, Ughulu, pressing the party for answers.
