Supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, alongside chieftains of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), have launched the “OK Movement” to rally nationwide support for a potential joint presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a statement issued on Monday, Justin Ijeh, the movement’s national publicity secretary, confirmed the rollout of its national executive council as well as zonal and state structures.
Ijeh said the initiative was born out of mounting frustration over Nigeria’s “worsening” economic situation.
“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.”
He added that the movement is open to all Nigerians and aims to move beyond “the tired politics of tribalism, regionalism and religious sentiment” often used to divide the country.
