Ladipo Johnson, a spokesman for Rabi’u Kwankwaso, has said the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, is not happy over a growing leadership dispute within the campaign bloc, OK Movement.
Johnson made this assertion during an interview on Arise
Television, acknowledging that tensions had surfaced within the Movement.
He, however, described the situation as a temporary setback
rather than a major threat to its political objectives, adding that the
disagreement has become a distraction at a time when supporters are expected to
focus on strengthening the structure of the Movement across the country.
According to him, the dispute stemmed from differences
between some members and the leadership of the Movement, warning against
actions capable of creating divisions among supporters of the proposed
Obi-Kwankwaso alliance.
Johnson warned that such developments could weaken efforts
aimed at building a strong political alternative ahead of the 2027 polls.
He further revealed that Peter Obi had already been briefed
on the situation and was displeased by the ongoing disagreement.
“Yes, we have, may I call it a distraction at the moment. It
is not such, in my own humble opinion, that would lead you to take unilateral
actions that could possibly scuttle or bring bad blood within the support base
of the person you purportedly want to become the president of the country.
“I saw the presidential candidate last night along with the
DG. He’s not happy about the whole situation,” he said.
