Supporters unveil movement for Obi-Kwankwaso 2027 ticket

Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, chieftains of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), have launched the “OK Movement” to mobilise support for a possible joint ticket of the two politicians ahead of the 2027 elections.

In a statement issued on Monday, Justin Ijeh, the movement’s national publicity secretary, announced the appointment of members into the national executive council, zonal, and state structures.

Ijeh said the movement was launched in response to growing public dissatisfaction with the nation’s “worsening” economy.

“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,” the statement reads.

“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.”

Ijeh added that the movement is open to all well-meaning Nigerians and rejects the “tired politics of tribalism, regionalism and religious sentiment” used to divide the country.
