The Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement has inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections, charging members to take the movement’s message and political agenda to Nigerians across the country.
The National Leadership of the movement, in a congratulatory message signed by its National Secretary, Saadatu Sani, described the appointment of members of the council as a call to duty, sacrifice, leadership and service to Nigeria.
The movement said the council had been entrusted with the responsibility of taking the vision and aspirations of its principals directly to Nigerians, from urban centres to grassroots communities and across the states, local government areas and wards of the federation.
“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,” the statement said.
It urged members of the campaign council to approach their responsibilities with discipline, loyalty, humility, courage and commitment to the movement’s stated objectives.
According to the statement, the campaign would require strategic thinking, grassroots mobilisation, effective communication and cooperation among members.
“Our responsibility is to ensure that the message of our principals reaches every Nigerian and that the voice of the people is heard across the length and breadth of our nation,” it added.
John Ughulu was named Director-General of the campaign, while Sani will serve as National Secretary.
The council also named coordinators for the six geopolitical zones and the Federal Capital Territory, alongside state coordinators across the country.
