Nigeria: Crisis Rocking Ok Movement Takes Dramatic Twist As DG Resigns
[Vanguard] The crisis rocking the OK Movement took a dramatic turn on Tuesday as its Director-General, High Chief Peter Ameh, announced his resignation in Abuja on Tuesday.
The crisis surrounding the OK Movement reached a turning point on Tuesday when its Director-General, High Chief Peter Ameh, announced his resignation in Abuja. This unexpected development has left supporters of the Peter Obi/Rabiu Kwankwaso National Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential ticket perplexed. In a letter to Vanguard, Ameh stated his intention to resign immediately, citing his desire to focus on his campaign for the Kogi East Senatorial District in the 2027 elections, where he is running on the NDC platform.
Despite this, Ameh emphasized that his resignation does not diminish his support for NDC Presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi, whom he referred to as "My leader." He expressed his gratitude to Obi for his exemplary leadership and unwavering integrity, qualities that inspired the creation of the OK Movement and continue to guide its vision.
Ameh added that he is prepared to accept any individual appointed by Obi to succeed him in his role. The factional leadership struggles within the Movement, which had been ongoing, may now need to be resolved swiftly for the organization to maintain its relevance in the upcoming 2027 political landscape.
