By Chimezie Godfrey

The National Leadership of the OK Movement has congratulated members appointed to its Presidential Campaign Council, charging them to approach the assignment with discipline, sacrifice, strategic thinking and commitment to the movement’s political objectives ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The National Secretary of the movement, Saadatu Sani, conveyed the message in a statement congratulating the newly appointed members, describing their selection as more than an appointment but a call to duty and service to Nigeria.

Sani said the Presidential Campaign Council had been entrusted with the responsibility of taking the vision, message and aspirations of the movement’s principals to Nigerians across the country, from the cities to the grassroots, states, local governments, wards and communities.

She said the OK Movement was not built around individuals seeking personal recognition but was driven by what she described as a broader national vision of mobilising Nigerians around the possibility of a better, prosperous, united and functional Nigeria.

The National Secretary urged members of the council to discharge their responsibilities with discipline, loyalty, humility and courage while remaining committed to the collective vision of the movement.

According to her, the task ahead would require hard work, strategic thinking, grassroots mobilisation and effective communication, as well as the ability of members to work together as one political family.

“Our responsibility is to ensure that the message of our principals reaches every Nigerian and that the voice of the people is heard across the length and breadth of our nation,” Sani said.

She said the movement expected members of the council to demonstrate through their activities that the organisation was prepared and committed to the political assignment ahead.

Sani added that the council’s responsibility included broad mobilisation and engagement with Nigerians across the country, stressing that the movement’s message must reach communities at the grassroots.

She urged members to see their appointments as responsibilities requiring commitment rather than merely positions of recognition.

“A New Nigeria Is Possible. Nigeria Will Be OK,” she said, urging members of the campaign council to rise to what she described as a historic responsibility.
