…Says Mission Is Nigeria, Not Personal Recognition
The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement has unveiled a 59-member presidential campaign council comprising zonal and state coordinators as well as directors for mobilisation, women’s affairs, strategy, security, legal affairs, and other key areas ahead of the 2027 general elections.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the council, announced in a statement on Thursday, has the Director-General of the movement, John Ughulu, as Director-General of the campaign, while National Secretary, Saadatu Sani, is also listed among the campaign leadership.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that the structure has representatives from the six geopolitical zones and the Federal Capital Territory, with state coordinators appointed for the 36 states. The council also includes directors responsible for grassroots mobilisation, women affairs, contact and engagement, special duties, procurement, information technology, legal affairs, strategy and planning, security and intelligence, and administration.
The development comes as the movement intensifies preparations to mobilise support for the joint presidential ticket of Nigeria Democratic Congress candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso. Among those appointed are Suleiman Abubakar as North-Central coordinator; Hashimu Dungurawa (North-West); Amadu Gwambe (North-East); Dr Adebayo Adefolaseye (South-West); Christopher Ighodaro (South-South); and El-Shaddai Ikeh (South-East).
In a congratulatory message, Sani said their selection was a call to duty and tasked them with taking the message of its principles to communities across the country. “Your selection is not merely an appointment; it is a call to duty, sacrifice, leadership and service to Nigeria,” she said.
She emphasised that the movement is not built around individuals seeking personal recognition. “It is a movement driven by a larger national vision: to mobilise Nigerians around the possibility of a better, more prosperous, united and functional Nigeria,” she stated. The unveiling comes days after the movement condemned the reported disruption of Obi’s convoy during his visit to Benue State and called for an impartial investigation.
