2027: Peter Obi rejects OK movement presidential campaign council

In a statement on Arise TV's Prime Time programme, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, has rejected the creation of a Presidential Campaign Council by the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement. Obi emphasized that groups supporting his 2027 presidential bid must function as support groups rather than as the political party itself.

He clarified that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) remains the primary political party to which supporters of his bid belong, while the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, Obidient groups, and Kwankwasiyya should operate as support groups. Obi stated that any attempt by a support group to establish its own Presidential Campaign Council is incorrect and requires the express approval of both Obi and Kwankwaso.
