2027: Peter Obi Unhappy Over Leadership Crisis In OK Movement — Kwankwaso’s Aide

The spokesperson to former Kano State governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Ladipo Johnson, has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, is unhappy over the leadership crisis currently rocking the OK Movement.

Johnson made the disclosure during an interview on Arise Television, describing the internal dispute as a “distraction” that should not be allowed to derail efforts to build a formidable political movement ahead of the 2027 general election.

He acknowledged that disagreements had emerged within the Movement but maintained that the crisis was not serious enough to warrant actions capable of creating divisions among supporters.

According to him, the disagreement stemmed from differences between some members and the leadership of the Movement, adding that supporters should be focused on strengthening the Movement’s structures across the country rather than engaging in internal conflicts.

Johnson cautioned against unilateral actions that could undermine the proposed Obi-Kwankwaso alliance and weaken the support base needed to challenge for power in 2027.

He warned that if not properly managed, the leadership dispute could frustrate efforts to build a credible political alternative ahead of the next presidential election.

The Kwankwaso spokesperson further revealed that Obi had been briefed on the development and expressed displeasure over the ongoing crisis.

“Yes, we have – may I call it a distraction at the moment. It is not such, in my own humble opinion, that would lead you to take unilateral actions that could possibly scuttle or bring bad blood within the support base of the person you purportedly want to become the president of the country.

“I saw the presidential candidate last night along with the DG. He’s not happy about the whole situation,” Johnson said.
