2027: Peter Obi, Kwankwaso supporters collapse structures into OK Movement
Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, supporters of Peter Obi and those of Rabiu Kwankwaso have collapsed their structures into OK Movement.
A statement signed by Justin Ijeh, its National Publicity Secretary, said that they believe that national renewal is not the task of a single tribe, but the duty of a united people.
The new Movement has vowed to unite Nigerians across divides to confront hardship, restore accountable leadership, and drive a decisive national rebirth.
The statement said: “Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads. Today, as our people endure the weight of unprecedented economic hardship, the soaring cost of living, and the persistent shadow of insecurity, the Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement formally announces the unveiling of its national and state structures.
“This is more than a political milestone; it is the birth of a coordinated, nationwide engine for systemic reform and national rebirth.
“We recognise the exhaustion felt in every Nigerian household. From the farmer unable to harvest in safety to the entrepreneur stifled by a volatile economy, the struggle is real. Yet, in this moment of darkness, the OK Movement stands as a beacon of resolute hope.
“Our mission is anchored in a singular, unwavering conviction: Nigeria will be OK. We do not offer mere rhetoric; we offer a structured, disciplined pathway towards a country that works, not for the few, but for every citizen.
“The OK Movement is a home for all well-meaning Nigerians. We reject the tired politics of tribalism, regionalism, and religious sentiment that have long been used to keep our people divided while the nation falters.
“Our strength lies in our diversity, and our progress depends on our unity. We are mobilising from the grassroots to the capital, fostering a shared identity built on integrity, competence, and the collective responsibility to rescue our future. We believe that national renewal is not the task of a single tribe, but the duty of a united people.
“Our vision is deeply rooted in the highest aspirations of our land. We are guided by the profound prayer found in the third stanza of our National Anthem: ‘Oh God of all creation, grant this our one request. Help us to build a nation where no man is oppressed, and so, with peace and plenty, Nigeria may be blessed.’
“This is not merely a lyric; it is our blueprint. We seek to build a Nigeria where justice is a right, not a privilege, a nation where ‘plenty’ is shared through economic stability, and ‘peace’ is secured through decisive leadership.
“This is an open invitation to every Nigerian who believes that our current reality need not be our final destiny.
“Through solidarity, purposeful leadership, and the courage to demand better, we will prevail. The structures are set. The vision is clear. The movement is here. Together, we will make Nigeria OK.”

The lawmaker representing Misau/Dambam Federal Constituency of Bauchi State, Aliyu Misau, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and joined the Allied Peoples Movement, APM.
The speaker of the House, Abbas Tajudeen, announced the lawmaker’s defection on Wednesday during plenary.
In the letter, Misau said his decision to leave the PDP is due to the unresolved internal crises and persistent factionalism within the party.

Recall that four members of the House from Bauchi State had on June 4, dumped the same PDP for the APM.

Arise News anchor Rufai Oseni has faulted the lawsuit against a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo by the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi’s legal team.
Obi had dragged the actor-turned politician to court for allegedly defaming him on national TV following the conduct of the NDC primary elections in the South East.
DAILY POST recalls that Okonkwo, in a recent interview, alleged that the NDC presidential candidate and other leaders of the party in the region collected bribes from aspirants seeking House of Representatives and senatorial seats.
The claim was vehemently pushed back by Obi’s camp, leading to a defamation suit and a seven-day ultimatum for Okonkwo to retract the claim.
Speaking during the Arise TV morning show, Rufai described Okonkwo as a “political surrogate”, stating that Obi should not waste his time in pursuing the case.
Giving his reason, Rufai said the lawsuit amplified the allegations, claiming that Okonkwo’s claim only became news after Obi slammed him.
He said, “If I’m to advise Mr Peter Obi, I would ask him to remove that case from the court.
“He doesn’t need. I can bet you that a lot of people did not even hear when Kenneth Okonkwo said it. It became news when Peter Obi sued him.
“You just gave a media traction to this guy, allow him to talk as he wants, the best you can do is to refute it. It is not everything you react to”.

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has revealed that ex-Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, worked harder for the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential ticket for the 2027 general elections.
In a continuous trade of words with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the ex-SGF insisted that the ADC primary election that produced Atiku was massively rigged.
Lawal contrasted Amaechi’s activities with what he described as Atiku’s low-profile approach to the contest.
“Someone like Rotimi Amaechi was very confident that if we go to primaries he would win. Everybody around him was extremely confident that Amaechi would win.
“Among the three candidates, Amaechi was the one moving around, working hard to see that he got the ticket,” Lawal said.
Recall that before he dumped the ADC, the ex-SGF alleged that the primary election that produced Atiku was massively rigged, insisting that he has evidence to support his claims.
