Supporters of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), under the platform of the OK Movement, say they are pushing for a Nigeria that works for all citizens regardless of political, ethnic or religious differences.
The National Publicity Secretary of the movement, Justin Ijeh, made this known during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme.
According to him, the movement is focused on building a country where institutions function independently and citizens are treated with dignity.
He said:
“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.”
Ijeh also stated that Peter Obi is not seeking power for its own sake but as a means to achieve meaningful change.
“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.
