Ahead of the official flag off of campaigns for the 2027 general elections, the OK Movement of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), may have suffered a setback with the sudden resignation of the Director General of the movement, Peter Ameh.
The OK Movement is the offshoots of the former Obidient movement of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi and Kwakwasiyya movement of his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
The group came into existence with the collapsing of the Obi and Kwankwaso political structures after they reached a resolution to run on a single presidential ticket.
Amen in the resignation letter he personally signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, said his decision was to enable him to concentrate on his legislative campaign for next year’s general elections.
In the letter titled; “Resignation as Director-General of the OK Movement”, Ameh who is also the National Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), commended Peter Obi for his exemplary leadership, unwavering integrity, and enduring credibility, noting that his qualities inspired the formation of the OK Movement and continued to shape its vision and purpose.
He wrote: “I hereby formally tender my resignation as Director-General of the OK Movement, effective immediately. I humbly accept any individual appointed by my leader to succeed me in this role.
“I wish to express my profound gratitude to my leader, Mr. Peter Obi, for his exemplary leadership, unwavering integrity, and enduring credibility. These qualities inspired the formation of the OK Movement and have continued to shape its vision and purpose.
“This decision will enable me to devote the necessary time and energy to my campaign for the Kogi East Senatorial District, where I am the candidate of the NDC.
“I remain firmly committed to the ideals that united us and wish the OK Movement every success in its future endeavours,” he noted.
However, at the time of writing this story, it was not clear whether the party has appointed any replacement.
