Summary: NDC National Leader Seriake Dickson has slammed the Obidient-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement over their decision to establish a 59-member presidential campaign council, saying the move is completely out of order.
Former Bayelsa State Governor and National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has come out guns blazing against the Obidient-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement, declaring that the group has absolutely no business setting up a presidential campaign council.
Dickson, who is not one to mince words, described the OK Movement’s decision to constitute a 59-member presidential campaign council as a move that is both premature and entirely misplaced — and he wants Nigerians to take note.
What Is the OK Movement Thinking?
For those who may not be fully in the loop, the OK Movement is a political alliance that brings together supporters of Labour Party’s Peter Obi and the New Nigeria People’s Party’s (NNPP) Rabiu Kwankwaso. The movement has been making waves across the country, particularly among young Nigerians who are hungry for change and fed up with the old order of Nigerian politics.
However, according to Dickson, the movement’s latest move — setting up a 59-member campaign council — crosses a line that should not be crossed.
Dickson’s Position: Straight to the Point
The NDC National Leader did not hold back in expressing his views. In his characteristic no-nonsense manner, Dickson made it clear that such a decision overreaches the mandate and legitimate scope of the OK Movement. As far as he is concerned, this is not their lane to drive in, and they need to park well.
This is the kind of political drama that Nigerians have come to expect in the build-up to major elections — big personalities, bold declarations, and battles over who holds the steering wheel of influence.
Why This Matters for Nigerian Politics
As Nigeria continues to navigate its complex political landscape, moves like this one from the OK Movement are bound to generate heated debate. The alliance between Obi and Kwankwaso’s camps has always been viewed with a mix of excitement and skepticism by political analysts and everyday Nigerians alike.
The big question on everyone’s lips in the streets of Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and beyond is simple: Can this alliance hold, and who truly calls the shots?
Dickson’s outburst suggests that not everyone is comfortable with how things are unfolding within the opposition space — and that the cracks may be widening.
The Bigger Picture
With Nigerian elections always being a high-stakes affair — where stomach infrastructure, last-minute defections, and surprise alliances are all part of the game — any move that signals internal disagreement within opposition circles is worth paying close attention to.
Whether the OK Movement will back down, double down, or find a middle ground remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Seriake Dickson has thrown a stone into the pond, and the ripples are just beginning.
Stay with us as we continue to follow this developing political story. As they say in Nigeria — the thing don enter!
