Obi-Kwankwaso Movement unveils 59-member 2027 presidential campaign council
The Obi-Kwankwaso Movement released a 59-member Presidential Campaign Council on September 17, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections, according to a statement by National Secretary Saadatu Sani. The council includes Director-General John Ughulu and National Secretary Saadatu Sani in leadership roles, along with zonal coordinators for the six geopolitical zones and the Federal Capital Territory: Suleiman Abubakar (North Central), Hashimu Dungurawa (North West), Amadu Gwambe (North East), Adebayo Adefolaseye (South West), Christopher Ighodaro (South South), El-Shaddai Ikeh (South East), and Ibrahim Jabir as FCT Coordinator. State-level coordinators were named for Kogi (Maiyaki Samson), Plateau (Tokji Mandim), Nasarawa (Yusuf Abdullahi), Benue (Aliyu Tershaku), Niger (Awal Goma), and Kwara (Kazeem Olawuyi). The structure also covers directorates for mobilisation, women affairs, strategy, security, legal affairs and other key functions.
This announcement signals the opposition coalition’s organisational readiness for the 2027 polls, highlighting a structured attempt to challenge the incumbent party by pooling Labour Party’s Peter Obi and NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso bases. The detailed appointments suggest a nationwide outreach strategy, with coordinators covering all zones and key states, which could influence voter mobilisation and campaign messaging across Nigeria.
What does this mean for your 2027 voting considerations? Will you track the movement’s outreach in your state, engage with its mobilisation directorate, or evaluate how this coalition might reshape the electoral landscape compared to previous elections?
