  "account": "The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, commonly referred to as the OK Movement, has responded to Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) national leader Seriake Dickson, who labeled the group's campaign team as \"nonsensical.\" The Movement firmly rejected any attempt by the NDC to assume control over its structures before the 2027 general elections. Director-General of the OK Movement, John Ughulu, emphasized the group's independent identity and warned against any absorption of its national, state, local government, or ward structures into the NDC.\n\nDickson criticized the OK Movement for establishing a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council, arguing that support groups should support political parties rather than forming competing structures. He stated that support groups should focus on candidate mobilization and assistance, not competing with the party's official machinery. However, Ughulu disagreed with this characterization, asserting that the OK Movement is an independently organized entity with its own leadership and mobilization structures. He clarified that the movement unites individuals from various political backgrounds who support Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, the NDC's presidential candidate and running mate for the 2027 election.",
