NDC disowns OK Movement’s presidential campaign council list

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has distanced itself from a recently announced campaign council by the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, also known as the OK Movement. The 59-member Presidential Campaign Council, unveiled by the movement's Director-General, John Ughulu, has not received the party's endorsement. NDC National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, stated that the party dissociates itself from the announcement, emphasizing that it did not originate from the NDC.

The NDC has warned that only the party's leadership can constitute and announce a Presidential Campaign Council. It further cautioned members and support groups against creating structures that could undermine the party's authority or image. Ughulu, the OK Movement DG, refuted the NDC's claim, asserting that the support group is independent and not under the party's control.

The party, however, announced disciplinary action against Ughulu due to his excesses during the Lagos State primary election and repeated disregard for the party's authority.
