OK MOVEMENT CAUTIONS NDC, OBIDIENTS AGAINST FUELLING DIVISION IN OBI CAMP

The United Kingdom Coordinator of the OK Movement, Adebayo Brown, has urged groups supporting Peter Obi’s presidential ambition to put aside public disagreements and focus on mobilising voters for 2027.

Brown spoke on Tuesday amid a dispute over claims that Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, had distanced themselves from the OK Movement.

He accused leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council and the Obidient Movement of encouraging divisions rather than strengthening campaign structures.

Brown specifically questioned statements attributed to Obidient Movement Coordinator Dr Moses Paul about the candidates’ relationship with the group.

He argued that any clarification of Obi and Kwankwaso’s position should come through clear, verifiable communication.

Despite his criticism, Brown maintained that the organisations were not enemies and shared a common electoral objective.

“The priority should be mobilising Nigerians, strengthening political structures, and working towards credible elections in 2027,” he said.

He also defended OK Movement National Director-General John Ughulu, praising his work and urging him to remain focused.

Responding, NDC campaign spokesperson Dr Constance Ikokwu dismissed the controversy as an unnecessary distraction.

“We’re heavily focused on the campaign right now,” she said.

Paul’s media aide, Chidi Iloamaeke, said the Obidient coordinator was concentrating on his organisation’s activities and building support for Obi.

The report did not include a direct statement from Obi or Kwankwaso resolving the disputed claims about their relationship with the OK Movement.
