The Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement in Enugu State has raised concerns over alleged attempts to sow confusion and destabilize the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). The movement claims individuals are impersonating leaders and spreading misinformation to create a non-existent faction within the party. These actions, it alleges, are designed to divide the NDC, particularly in Enugu, which is considered a support base for Peter Obi.

The movement stated that these alleged destabilization efforts are occurring as party members should be focused on preparations for the 2027 general elections. It accused specific individuals of impersonation and attempting to undermine the party's unity in Enugu State. The OK Movement emphasized that such actions undermine democratic principles and must cease immediately.

It is intentional to create division and confusion, knowing that Enugu is the support base of Mr. Peter Obi, and we must resist it.

The OK Movement cautioned against using young Nigerians as instruments of political conflict, stating that personal ambitions should not overshadow the objective of building a credible political alternative for 2027.

The movement described the upcoming political realignment as a "New Nigeria project" that is greater than individual ambitions. It reaffirmed its commitment to democratic values, accountability, and good governance, aiming to mobilize support for a competent, people-centered government in 2027. The statement concluded with a renewed appeal for unity, warning that internal divisions could jeopardize the movement's collective political aspirations.
