The OK (brief for Obi-Kwankwaso) Motion is without doubt one of the unbiased teams mobilising enhance for Messrs Obi and Kwankwaso.

PREMIUM TIMES reported that, on 17 September, the OK Motion constituted a 59-member marketing campaign council to mobilise enhance for Messrs Obi and Kwankwaso forward of the 2027 election.

The enhance staff claimed the marketing campaign council would function independently of a equivalent council to be inaugurated via the NDC.

However the NDC disowned the enhance staff, announcing it will quickly unveil its presidential marketing campaign council for the 2027 election.

It warned the enhance staff that its motion may just destabilise the birthday celebration.
