Obi-Kwankwaso Movement rejects merger ahead of 2027 elections

The Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement has firmly rejected any suggestions of merging or being absorbed into other political organizations, asserting its intention to remain an independent support group. This stance comes as political maneuvering intensifies in anticipation of Nigeria's 2027 presidential and general elections.

The movement, established to rally support for the joint ticket of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, has made it clear that it will not be dissolved or integrated into any other political platform. This decision underscores the group's commitment to its distinct identity and objectives within the broader political landscape.

In addition to maintaining its independence, the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement has also announced its support for Ughulu, endorsing him for the position of Director-General. This backing signals the movement's active engagement in shaping the political direction and leadership for the upcoming electoral cycle.

The declaration of independence and the endorsement of a specific candidate highlight the movement's strategic positioning and its determination to play a significant role in the 2027 elections, independent of larger political alliances.
