In a move to clarify its stance ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has disowned the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) set up by the OK Movement. According to a statement signed by the party’s National Chairman, Cleopas Moses, on Saturday, an announcement made by one John Ugulu was not authorized.
Moses stated that no individual or group is allowed to announce, constitute, or publish any campaign council, structure, or organ in the name of the party. This move comes after the unveiling of a 59-member PCC by the OK Movement, which features former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-governor Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The NDC’s disavowal was also reported by Vanguard News. The publication noted that no individual or group is authorized to announce, constitute, or publish any campaign council, structure, or organ in the name of the party.
This development underscores the ongoing jostle for power among various political parties and alliances ahead of the 2027 elections. As the election year approaches, more such developments are expected.
