The National Executive Council of the OK Movement met recently with Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), to reaffirm the group’s commitment to victory in the 2027 general Elections. The meeting, led by the movement’s Director-General, Hon. John Ughulu, focused on mobilisation strategies and the organisation’s role in the upcoming presidential campaign.
Key national and zonal leaders attended the session. They included National Secretary Saadatu Mohammed Sanni, National Director of Administration and HR Mrs Aisha Aliyu Abdulrahman, and National Director of Operations Hon. Francis Nnodi. Also present were the Director of Mobilisation and Outreach, Rev. Victor Ekam, and zonal coordinators Chris Elijah (South-South), Adefolaseye Adebayo (South-West), and Alhaji Sulaiman Abubakar (North-Central).
The leadership reiterated its backing for the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket, pledging to intensify grassroots mobilisation, coordination, and voter engagement across the country ahead of the 2027 polls. The officials expressed determination to work tirelessly towards securing victory for Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabi’u Kwankwaso, under the NDC platform. “The mission is clear. The commitment is unwavering. NDC all the way,” the council declared in a joint statement.
The OK Movement, known as a support base for Obi and Kwankwaso, has been expanding its structural footprint across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones. Wednesday’s engagement signals a formal alignment between the movement’s operational leadership and the NDC’s national campaign architecture. Observers note that the early coordination reflects a strategic effort to consolidate opposition leverage ahead of the next electoral cycle.
The discussion also covered logistical planning for nationwide outreach, including voter education drives and community-level town halls. Zonal coordinators outlined regional targets for membership registration and volunteer recruitment, with an emphasis on converting online support into offline electoral infrastructure.
As the 2027 elections approach, the alliance between the OK Movement and the NDC is expected to shape opposition dynamics, particularly in regions where both figures command significant followings. The next phase will involve the rollout of a unified field operation designed to synchronize messaging, monitor polling unit readiness, and counter voter apathy. The movement’s leadership says it remains focused on translating organisational strength into measurable electoral outcomes.
