Supporters of the former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi — better known as ‘Obidients’ — and those of the ex-Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, otherwise known as the ‘Kwankwansiyya Movement’, have collapsed their structures into a single entity named the ‘OK Movement’ ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
This was disclosed in a recent statement signed by the movement’s National Publicity Secretary, Justin Ijeh.
According to the spokesperson, the movement was established in the belief that national renewal is not the task of a single tribe, but the duty of a united people.
The new movement also vowed to unite Nigerians across divides to confront hardship, restore accountable leadership, and drive a decisive national rebirth.
The statement added that the Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement was formally unveiling its national and state structures at a time when Nigerians are enduring the “weight of unprecedented economic hardship, the soaring cost of living, and the persistent shadow of insecurity”.

Ijeh wrote: “Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads. Today, as our people endure the weight of unprecedented economic hardship, the soaring cost of living, and the persistent shadow of insecurity, the Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement formally announces the unveiling of its national and state structures.
“This is more than a political milestone; it is the birth of a coordinated, nationwide engine for systemic reform and national rebirth.
“We recognise the exhaustion felt in every Nigerian household. From the farmer unable to harvest in safety to the entrepreneur stifled by a volatile economy, the struggle is real. Yet, in this moment of darkness, the OK Movement stands as a beacon of resolute hope.
“Our mission is anchored in a singular, unwavering conviction: Nigeria will be OK. We do not offer mere rhetoric; we offer a structured, disciplined pathway towards a country that works, not for the few, but for every citizen.
“The OK Movement is a home for all well-meaning Nigerians. We reject the tired politics of tribalism, regionalism, and religious sentiment that have long been used to keep our people divided while the nation falters.
“Our strength lies in our diversity, and our progress depends on our unity. We are mobilising from the grassroots to the capital, fostering a shared identity built on integrity, competence, and the collective responsibility to rescue our future. We believe that national renewal is not the task of a single tribe, but the duty of a united people.
“Our vision is deeply rooted in the highest aspirations of our land. We are guided by the profound prayer found in the third stanza of our National Anthem: ‘Oh God of all creation, grant this our one request. Help us to build a nation where no man is oppressed, and so, with peace and plenty, Nigeria may be blessed.’
“This is not merely a lyric; it is our blueprint. We seek to build a Nigeria where justice is a right, not a privilege, a nation where ‘plenty’ is shared through economic stability, and ‘peace’ is secured through decisive leadership.
“This is an open invitation to every Nigerian who believes that our current reality need not be our final destiny.
“Through solidarity, purposeful leadership, and the courage to demand better, we will prevail. The structures are set. The vision is clear. The movement is here. Together, we will make Nigeria OK.”
