The grassroots leaders of the OK Movement have firmly rejected any proposal to merge with the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasizing their commitment to remaining an independent grassroots support organization. At the National Leadership Summit held in Abuja, leaders from the six geopolitical zones, 36 states, and the Federal Capital Territory unanimously endorsed Mr. John Ughulu as the organization's Director-General.
This decision was made in light of the practical realities of their grassroots structures, which were built around the credibility and leadership of their founder. The movement's decision to maintain its independence was unanimously endorsed, with no dissent among the gathered leaders. The organization has warned that the removal of Ughulu or any compromise to its independence could result in the withdrawal of its state, local government, and ward leaders from its activities.
Despite this stance, the OK Movement expressed readiness to coordinate closely with allied groups to achieve shared goals, clarifying that independence doesn't equate to isolation. The summit also invited Ms. Jacky Wayas to return to the movement as Director for Strategic Implementation and Planning, acknowledging her previous contributions and willingness to welcome her back to promote unity within the organization.
