Obidient-Kwankwaso Movement Inaugurates Anambra Coordinators to Build Grassroots Ahead of 2027

# What happened Obidient-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement inaugurated newly appointed state, zonal and local government coordinators in Awka. The meeting set a clear operational goal: strengthen and harmonise grassroots structures across all 21 local government areas ahead of the 2027 general elections.

# Leadership instructions and priorities Dr. Tim Egboka, Anambra State chairman of the OK Movement, told coordinators to move beyond political enthusiasm and lead by example. He said the immediate priorities are:

• Harmonising existing support groups and local structures.
• Recruiting committed, capable members rather than increasing numbers for appearances.
• to 2027.

Egboka framed this as a call to practical sacrifice and consistent local work.

# How support groups are being handled

# Party integration and agent recruitment Rt. Hon. Ikem Uzoezie, NDC Anambra State chairman, urged supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to formalise their participation by joining the NDC at ward level. He made two operational points:

• Ward-level party membership is required to be officially part of the campaign structure.

Uzoezie emphasised that he attends ward and local government meetings despite his role as state chairman, signalling a push for hands-on grassroots engagement.

# Expectations for coordinators Prof. Pat Obi, leader of Associates of Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement, reminded coordinators to prioritise the broader political project over personal interests. He said coordinator appointments were based on character and competence and challenged them to justify the selection with effective mobilisation at the grassroots.

# Why this matters for 2027 Anambra aims to turn scattered support and enthusiasm into an organised, membership-based operation that can deliver votes and representation across multiple elective levels: presidential, Senate, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly. Converting informal networks into registered party structures and agents is a practical step toward that end.

# Immediate next steps for readers tracking this Coordinators will focus on building and harmonising structures at local government, ward and polling-unit levels. Supporters who want to participate formally should join the NDC at the ward level and, if interested, register to serve as polling-unit agents while local compilations continue.
