Obi-Kwankwaso Movement Drops 59-Member Campaign Council, Says 'A New Nigeria Is Possible'

The OK Movement, the political platform driving the joint presidential ticket of Peter Obi and Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, has unveiled a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council. The announcement, made on Wednesday in Abuja, signals a major step in the push for the 2027 general elections. The council includes zonal and state coordinators, as well as directors for key areas like mobilisation, women affairs, strategy, security, and legal affairs.

This is not just another political list. It's a statement of intent. The OK Movement is telling Nigerians, from Lagos to Maiduguri, that they are ready to take the message of a new Nigeria to every corner of the country.

Who's Who in the OK Movement Campaign Council?

John Ughulu takes the lead as Director-General, with Saadatu Sani as National Secretary. The council features six zonal coordinators: Suleiman Abubakar (North Central), Hashimu Dungurawa (North West), Amadu Gwambe (North East), Dr. Adebayo Adefolaseye (South West), Christopher Ighodaro (South South), and El-Shaddai Ikeh (South East).

Ibrahim Jabir is the FCT Coordinator. State coordinators have been named for all 36 states, including Kogi, Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue, Niger, Kwara, Kaduna, Sokoto, Kano, Zamfara, Jigawa, Kebbi, Katsina, Adamawa, Gombe, Taraba, Bauchi, Yobe, Borno, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ogun, Lagos, Ondo, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Abia.

The directors cover grassroots mobilisation, women affairs, contact and engagement, special duties, procurement, IT, legal affairs, strategy and planning, security and intelligence, and administration. This is a full-scale operation.

What the OK Movement Is Saying to Nigerians

In a statement, Saadatu Sani made it clear this is bigger than any individual. “The OK Movement is not built around individuals seeking personal recognition. It is a movement driven by a larger national vision: to mobilise Nigerians around the possibility of a better, more prosperous, united and functional Nigeria,” she said.

Sani urged council members to work with “discipline, loyalty, humility, courage and an unwavering commitment to the collective vision.” She stressed that the road ahead requires hard work, strategic thinking, and grassroots mobilisation.

The movement's rallying cry is unmistakable: “A New Nigeria Is Possible. Nigeria Will Be OK.”

Why This Matters for 2027

This is not just about structure. It's about momentum. The OK Movement is building a political machine that aims to reach every ward and community. With Obi's appeal among young Nigerians and Kwankwaso's northern base, this ticket is a serious force.

The campaign council is tasked with taking the movement's message directly to the people. As Sani put it, “The journey has begun. The assignment is clear. The mission is Nigeria.”

For Nigerians tired of the old ways, this is a signal that a new political chapter is being written. The OK Movement is not waiting for permission. They are moving.
