Supporters of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and those of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader, Rabiu Kwankwaso, under the banner of the OK Movement, have said their goal is to build a Nigeria that serves all citizens, regardless of political affiliation, ethnicity, or religion.
The National Publicity Secretary of the OK Movement, Justin Ijeh, made this known on Thursday during an appearance on Arise Television’s Prime Time.
Ijeh further explained that Obi is not driven by the desire for power itself but sees leadership as a means to achieve meaningful change, noting that this shared ideology is what has brought Obi and Kwankwaso together.
“We want a Nigeria that works for everyone, not just some. A Nigeria that respects the dignity of Nigerians and of institutions that perform their roles without political interference.
“We want a Nigeria that respects the dignity of the Nigerian person. We want a Nigeria that institutions are allowed to perform their roles without political interference, where we can draw a very distinct line between politics, politicking and governance.
“That is not the country we have today. Nobody knows where the line between politicking ends and where governance begins. So it’s one long continuum of politics. We reject that. We reject violent elections. We reject violence in the political process.
“We believe that people can disagree and not be disagreeable. We believe in a Nigeria where safety and security of all citizens is guaranteed.
“Obi has said he’s running not for power itself but as a means to an end. This ideology fuses Obi and Kwankwaso,” he said.
