OK Movement demands apology from NDC after dispute over presidential campaign council

The Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement demands an immediate apology from the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after the party rejects the movement’s 59-member Presidential Campaign Council (PCC). The movement says it is seeking clarification and restitution over remarks and actions tied to the PCC’s acceptance.

Both outlets report that the dispute centers on the NDC’s response to the OK Movement’s campaign structure for its Obi–Kwankwaso ticket, which includes presidential candidate Peter Obi and running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso. The Punch adds that the movement rejects what it characterizes as intimidation and frames its demand as a call for the NDC to correct its position.

Vanguard focuses more specifically on the request for an apology from the NDC National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, regarding his comments about the OK Movement’s PCC. While the two reports agree on the core issue—rejection of the PCC and the demand for an apology—Vanguard emphasizes the chairman’s statement, and The Punch emphasizes the movement’s stance against intimidation.
