A growing rift has emerged within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, known as the OK Movement, rejected the party's authority over its campaign structures for the 2027 general election. The disagreement intensified when the NDC National Chairman, Senator Cleopas Moses, stated that a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) unveiled by the OK Movement did not have the party's approval.
