A political group backing Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso for the 2027 presidential race has unveiled its agenda, vowing to reject ethnic, regional and religious sentiments in Nigeria’s politics.
The group, known as the Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement, said it aims to unite Nigerians across divides and confront the country’s economic and security challenges.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Justin Ijeh, the movement announced the rollout of its national and state structures, declaring readiness to commence full political mobilisation.
The statement, titled “New Dawn for Nigeria,” described the country as being at a critical juncture, grappling with economic hardship, rising cost of living and persistent insecurity.
“This is more than a political milestone; it is the birth of a coordinated, nationwide engine for systemic reform and national rebirth,” the group said.
It acknowledged the hardship faced by citizens, noting that many Nigerians from farmers to entrepreneurs—are struggling under current conditions.
“We recognise the exhaustion felt in every Nigerian household… yet, in this moment of darkness, the OK Movement stands as a beacon of hope,” the statement read.
The movement said its mission is built on the conviction that “Nigeria will be OK,” promising a structured and disciplined approach to governance focused on inclusivity and national development.
Rejecting divisive politics, the group stressed that unity remains central to its agenda.
“We reject the tired politics of tribalism, regionalism and religious sentiment that have long divided our people. Our strength lies in our diversity, and our progress depends on our unity,” it stated.
It added that its vision aligns with the aspirations captured in the national anthem, particularly the call for a nation “where no man is oppressed,” with peace, justice and economic stability for all.
The group also announced plans to inaugurate its state chapters nationwide in the coming weeks, inviting Nigerians to join what it described as a “people-powered movement” aimed at national renewal.
