Published

on

A major political feud has erupted within the opposition coalition as the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) officially distanced itself from a faction of the OK Movement led by John Oghulu. The friction follows Oghulu’s public refusal to surrender the movement’s national, state, local government, and ward structures to the NDC, insisting that the group is an independent political organization rather than a conventional support group.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The controversy gained momentum after NDC National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson—speaking while welcoming former SGF Babachir Lawal into the party—criticized support groups that operate as rival structures instead of focusing on grassroots mobilization for candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Reacting sharply to Oghulu’s dismissal of these concerns, the NDC Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada, issued a blistering clarification on social media:

  • Disowned Leadership: Agada declared that John Oghulu’s faction does not speak for the party, stating explicitly, “The OK movement that we know, did not authorize this statement.”

  • Working Against the Party: The NDC spokesperson accused Oghulu of actively undermining both the NDC and the broader Obidient movement.

  • True Grassroots Alignment: Agada affirmed that the legitimate wing of the OK Movement remains in close collaboration with the party to drive mobilization for the upcoming 2027 elections.
