OK Movement insists 59-man campaign council stands despite NDC rejection

OK Movement insists its 59-man Presidential Campaign Council remains intact and operational despite the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) rejecting the team. National Director-General John Ughulu said the council does not need approval from NDC leadership or any party official, reacting to NDC National Chairman Cleopas Moses, who earlier disowned the PCC and told the public to ignore it. Ughulu affirmed the Movement has its own leaders, principles, and structure, and that the PCC remains valid irrespective of any individual leader's opinion.

This exposes a growing rift within the opposition coalition backing Peter Obi's 2027 presidential bid, potentially undermining campaign coordination and unity ahead of the election. It also shows the OK Movement asserting autonomy, which could influence voter perception of Obi's support base and affect downstream endorsements.

Readers should monitor whether this split impacts campaign activities, policy alignment, or fundraising as the 2027 election approaches. Will the OK Movement be able to operate effectively without NDC backing, or will the internal division weaken the opposition's challenge to the incumbent?
