OK Movement crisis deepens as National Head of Operations resigns

The National Head of Operations of the OK Movement, Hon. Engr. Francis Nnoli, has resigned over what he described as a growing disconnect between the movement and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

His resignation followed a disagreement over whether the OK Movement should operate independently or align formally with the NDC, which is the platform on which Peter Gregory Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are pursuing their joint 2027 presidential bid.

In a statement by Nnoli on Sunday, he said his decision was driven by the need for political discipline, structural clarity and coordination between support groups, candidates and the party.

“Every support structure established around a political ticket must operate with a clear understanding of its relationship with the political party, its candidates and the broader political mandate it seeks to advance,” Nnoli said.

The development follows a position attributed to the movement’s Director-General, John Ugulu, that the OK Movement is an independent organisation with no formal relationship with the NDC and does not require the party’s endorsement or directives.

The NDC has also dissociated itself from the Presidential Campaign Council announced under Ugulu’s name, saying only the appropriate party leadership has the authority to constitute and announce such a council.

Nnoli said the disagreement made it necessary for him to step aside rather than remain in a structure whose direction he could no longer serve with full confidence.

“Where a movement exists primarily to mobilise support for candidates contesting an election under the platform of a political party, questions of coordination, authorisation, communication and institutional responsibility cannot simply be dismissed,” he said.

He, however, stressed that his resignation was not a rejection of the Obi-Kwankwaso project, reaffirming his commitment to its broader political objective and urging supporters to avoid parallel structures and statements capable of creating confusion.

“The 2027 election will require more than slogans and organisational titles. It will require coordination, credibility, discipline, strategic thinking and a clear understanding of how political movements and political parties must work together,” Nnoli said.

I have said a month ago, funding will be a problem, a friend of mine in NDC kaduna said he will chop the money because he knows they can't win.

Honestly we Nigerians have moral problems, when other parties are mobilizing already NDC is still foot dragging.

Think about your sufferings under the APC and leave other parties alone.

Just like in 2023, President Tinubu is funding u against your Master Alhaji Abubakar Atiku.

Keep deceiving yourself, other parties of disgruntled members of The APC & The PDP that will be back to their respective parties by this time next year

Peter Obi is a packaged fraud

Peter Obi is a packaged fraud and can never be the president of Nigeria my country. We have heard of his stewardship in Anambra where he increased the poverty level.

Never heard of him

probably seeking attention

Just few months to elections and this is happening ?

Never heard of him

probably seeking attention

no one really cares as more capable Nigerians will take the post in a blink of an eye

Do you really have a president right now?

Tinubu himself made it clear that only zombies will vote him in 2027

The Pablo Escobar of Nigeria has nothing to offer aside insecurity and hardship


Minimum wage in libya is 240,000 (in naira equivalent) and a litre of fuel is 38 naira ( naira equivalent)

let Nigerians be suffering and smiling

Nobody fit tell me say this one is not a spiritual problem o

Can we nominate iceberg3, the husband of Princessfcfans?

He's been jobless for a while with Tinubunomics unfavorable to him

The way they are waiting for NDC in the North like you said is how we are also waiting for Tinubu and his family money in the South South and East.


We have already started through what happened in Imo during the city boys empowerment program and we don't know why it will not continue down to the South South as we were already expecting them.


We are really waiting.



🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even the NDC flag is designed like Ijaw national flag of red and blue. I don't think Seriake Dickson will allow Igbos to take over his party.

Francis Nnoli head is not OK

Zero level .. NDC is ok : ok is ndc..

Tinubuagbado:
Think about your sufferings under the APC and leave other parties alone.

so will obi come n end d sufferings?

Same man that increased poverty in tiny Anambra?

ZombieTERROR:
Do you really have a president right now?

is it the one that is running away from UNGA

so going to UNGA is a criteria for being a good president?

Stop taking advice from that man at upper iweka

He is better than a DRUG CRIMINAL.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He has only one vote according to the Gringori fanatics.

Are these people even serious at all?

you supported Buhari for eight years, and here you are again..
stay here and enroll evil heartless leaders as your president

there's nothing spiritual about it but lack of human management

Shouldn't they be working together? They have the same goal after all. When people start treating a politician like a celebrity, you know there is a big problem. Not like I even endorse the so-called "celebrity" culture. When a politician enters a gathering and grown-ups start chanting his name suddenly for no clear reason, you know there is a need for serious orientation. Cult fellowship has never served any country well.

Can water mix with oil. Kwankwaso will ditch Obi, game plan since he visited Aso Rock.

I will rather have Tinubu a known thief who will steal my money n still do something for me to see than obi an angel who will steal all my money, leave me hungry, won't do anything n still tell it to my face that he didn't touch my money

since kanu is no longer around, they have replaced him with obi till obi loses election again n they move back to kanu again.

That's their blackmail tool
