  "account": "The UK Coordinator of the OK Movement, Adebayo Brown, issued a caution to the Nigeria Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council and the Obidient Movement against fueling division within Peter Obi's 2027 presidential campaign. Brown urged these leaders to cease their political disputes and concentrate on mobilizing Nigerians, strengthening grassroots structures, and preparing for the upcoming general elections. This warning emerged following a disagreement over claims that Obi and his running mate, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, had distanced themselves from the OK Movement. The controversy sparked reactions from the NDC Presidential Campaign Council and Dr Moses Paul, the Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, who both dismissed it as a distraction from their campaign efforts. Brown urged Paul to prioritize rebuilding his organization, strengthening grassroots structures, and coordinating supporters rather than engaging in public disputes with the OK Movement. He highlighted that the approaching elections necessitated strategic planning, effective coordination, and grassroots mobilization, warning that internal disagreements could undermine efforts to rally Nigerians behind Obi's presidential ambition. Brown criticized two individuals appointed to key roles within the Obidient Movement and the NDC, accusing them of focusing on political disputes rather than fulfilling their responsibilities. He challenged Dr Moses Paul to clarify the basis of claims about Obi and Kwankwaso's relationship with their leaders, stating that the Obidient Movement coordinator could not speak for the two politicians unilaterally. Despite the disagreement, Brown affirmed that the OK Movement did not view either the Obidient Movement or the NDC as enemies, urging them to focus on their shared democratic objectives leading up to the elections.",
