OK Movement Issues Official Clarification on Its Communication Channels and Organizational Structure


By the Office of the Head of Operations


The Office of the Head of Operations of the Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement has issued an official clarification regarding recent developments surrounding individuals claiming to represent the movement and the management of its digital communication platforms.


According to the statement signed by Hon. Engr. Francis Nnoli, Head of Operations, the OK Movement wishes to inform members, supporters, stakeholders, and the general public that only duly authorized officials are empowered to speak or issue statements on behalf of the movement.


The movement stated that Ms. Jackie Wayes is no longer authorized to perform any duties or represent the OK Movement in any official capacity. The statement explained that her previous engagement was limited to media-related assignments and did not constitute membership or leadership within the movement.


The leadership further expressed concern over what it described as unauthorized activities involving digital communication platforms associated with the movement. According to the statement, certain online accounts have recently carried announcements and appointments which the movement says were not approved by its recognized leadership. As a result, members of the public are advised to disregard any communication that does not originate from officially designated channels.


The movement reaffirmed that it is taking appropriate administrative and legal steps to secure and restore control of its official communication platforms while strengthening internal governance and digital security.


Hon. Francis Nnoli emphasized that the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement remains committed to transparency, accountability, integrity, and responsible leadership.


«"The OK Movement was established on the principles of honesty, justice, unity, and service to Nigerians. We remain committed to protecting the integrity of the movement and ensuring that every official communication reflects our values. We urge members and supporters to rely only on verified information released through our recognized leadership."»


The statement reiterated that the movement's principals remain focused on advancing a national agenda centered on democratic participation, good governance, and national development.


The leadership also appealed to members to remain calm, avoid circulating unverified information, and continue supporting the movement's objectives while internal administrative matters are being addressed.


The Office of the Head of Operations concluded by reaffirming its commitment to maintaining an organized, transparent, and credible movement built on accountability and respect for due process.


Signed

BREAKING: Peter Obi Sacked Dr. Yinusa Tanko as Obidient National Coordinator in Stunning Integrity Purge – OK Movement Head of Operations Speaks**


In a development that has ignited fierce debate across Nigeria’s political landscape, Hon. Francis Nnoli, National Director of Operations of the Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) Movement, has confirmed that His Excellency Peter Obi has relieved Dr. Yinusa Tanko of his role as National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.


Speaking directly to the media in a firm and measured tone, Nnoli made it clear that the decision was not taken lightly. According to him, Tanko was removed following the discovery of actions and conduct that failed to align with the core mandate of the movement. “Dr. Yunusa Tanko has been relieved of his duty by His Excellency due to some inappropriateness and discovery that doesn’t align with the mandate of the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement,” Nnoli stated.


He stressed that the principals of the movement — Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso — are men of integrity, transparency, honesty, and clarity who have committed themselves to working for the good of Nigeria and the benefit of its citizens. “They would not allow themselves to be associated with anything or anyone that does not align with that mandate,” Nnoli declared. “Our two principal candidates are men of honour and diplomacy and stand fair in justice.”


The OK Movement, a solidarity platform that brings together supporters of Obi and Kwankwaso, positions itself as a force dedicated to building a fairer Nigeria. Nnoli framed the sacking as a necessary step to protect that vision. He insisted the movement is one of solidarity and will not tolerate a lack of transparency. “The Obi and Kwankwaso Movement is a movement of solidarity and wouldn’t appreciate people who are not transparent as we look forward to building a fair Nigeria,” he said.


Nnoli went further, addressing the public narrative Tanko has continued to project. He said the former coordinator has kept presenting himself as a central figure within the structures, a claim the operational leadership now firmly rejects. The movement, he added, is taking deliberate steps to maintain factual news, create a healthy environment for genuine supporters, and reclaim media channels that had come under contested influence.


This announcement arrives at a sensitive moment for the broader opposition space. The Obidient and OK structures have been working to coordinate grassroots energy, harmonise messaging, and present a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections. Leadership sources within the operational arm describe the decision as part of a wider effort to enforce accountability and ensure that every public voice truly reflects the principles of the principals.


Nnoli closed his remarks with a clear personal commitment: “I stand firmly with the OK Movement.” The statement leaves little room for ambiguity. For a political formation that has repeatedly sold itself on character, competence, and service to Nigerians, the removal of its national coordinator signals that no position is above the mandate.


As the news spreads through political circles, blogs, and social platforms, supporters and observers alike are watching closely. The message from the Head of Operations is unmistakable: the movement will prioritise integrity, factual communication, and alignment with its founding purpose above individual profiles. Whether this marks the start of deeper restructuring or simply a decisive correction, one thing is certain — the OK Movement under the guidance of its principals is drawing a firm line.

Barr. George Alabh Turnah MON , chairman peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Bayelsa State Has Rebuilt PDP in Bayelsa State, Era of Equal Rights and Equal Opportunity to all members of the party…


YENAGOA – In Bayelsa State today, there is a new story being told about the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. It is a story of inclusion, fairness, and unity. And at the center of that story is one man: *Barr. George Alabh Turnah MON*.


Barr. Turnah has worked tirelessly to rebuild the PDP in Bayelsa State. But this is not the PDP of godfathers, favoritism, or closed doors. This is what party faithful now call *“The New PDP”* – a PDP where every member, from the ward level to the state level, has *equal rights and equal opportunities*.


For years, many grassroots members complained that the party was controlled by a few. Decisions were made at the top, and ordinary members were left out.


Through consultations across the 8 LGAs and 105 wards and direct engagement with youth, women, and elders, he has opened the doors of the party again.


Today, under the George Alabh Turnah leadership model, appointments, recognitions, and opportunities within the PDP are no longer about who you know. They are about capacity, loyalty, and commitment to the party.


This new PDP is people-driven. It listens to the youth. It carries women along. It respects elders. And it gives every LGA a sense of belonging.


The recent *Elebele Defection Festival* is a clear example. Thousands joined the PDP not because they were forced, but because they saw a party that was open, fair, and ready to win.


With campaigns around the corner, this rebuilt PDP is already positioned for victory. As Ward structures are being strengthened. And the message is clear: PDP is one, PDP is united, PDP is for everyone.


Political observers note that what Barr. Turnah has done is rare in Nigerian politics – he took a divided structure and turned it into a united front without leaving anyone behind.


Bayelsa PDP is rising again. And the reason is simple: leadership with justice and fairness..


Under Barr. George Alabh Turnah MON, Member of the Order of the Niger, Bayelsa PDP has found its soul again. A party where the gateman and the chairman have the same voice. A party where your ward is as important as the state.

​Dee Utensils Marks Seven Successful Years in Business, As CEO Attributes Growth to God's Faithfulness, Consistency 


The Chief Executive Officer of Dee Utensils, Her Royal Majesty,  Amb. Lois Andrew Ihwo, has attributed the remarkable growth of the household and kitchenware brand over the past seven years to God's grace, unwavering faith, resilience, and consistency.


Reflecting on the company's journey as it celebrated its seventh anniversary in Abuja on Monday, Ihwo in a social media post described the success of Dee Utensils as a testimony of divine faithfulness from humble beginnings to becoming one of Nigeria's leading premium kitchenware brands.


According to her, the business started with very little capital and a small shop, where she single-handedly handled every aspect of the operations.


"I was the sales girl, the cashier, the inventory officer, the accountant, the cleaner, the store manager, the marketer, the dispatcher, and everything in between," she recalled, adding that she would sometimes purchase goods worth just ₦10,000 to stock the store.


She noted that despite numerous challenges, including the loss of about seven social media pages over the years, she remained focused on the vision, believing that temporary setbacks could not derail a purpose ordained by God.


She said Dee Utensils has today grown into an organization with 138 employees, serving customers across Nigeria and beyond while creating employment opportunities and positively impacting countless lives.


Ihwo explained that while social media often showcases the glamorous side of business, it rarely reflects the sacrifices, sleepless nights, financial risks, disappointments, prayers, and difficult decisions that define the entrepreneurial journey.


"People see the beautiful showrooms, luxury products and celebrations, but they don't see the silent battles behind the success. God knows the complete story," she stated.


She also revealed that many of the company's biggest clients deliberately stay away from public attention, emphasizing that Dee Utensils values the privacy of its customers.


"Not every handshake becomes a picture. Not every sale becomes a post. Our greatest joy has always been delivering value, building trust and exceeding expectations," she said.


Sharing one of the memorable milestones in the company's history, Ihwo recounted how the wife of a president from another country travelled to Nigeria to patronize Dee Utensils, describing the experience as a humbling reminder of God's extraordinary favour.


She further highlighted the company's business expansion, recalling a period when Dee Utensils imported eight containers of premium products at the same time, describing the scale of investment in manufacturing, shipping, logistics and warehousing as evidence of God's sustaining grace.


Beyond commercial success, the entrepreneur said the company's greatest achievement lies in its social impact. She disclosed that Dee Utensils now employs staff members earning ₦500,000 and above, supports the education of children, provides monthly assistance to widows, and has sponsored many students who have since graduated and established successful careers.


According to her, the company has also stood by members of staff during difficult moments while celebrating their personal and professional milestones.


Expressing gratitude, Ihwo acknowledged the support of her spiritual mentors, Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche and Dr. Mrs. Becky Paul Enenche, for their prayers, guidance and encouragement over the years. She also appreciated her staff, management team, customers, distributors, family, friends and supporters for believing in the vision and contributing to the growth of the brand.


Encouraging aspiring entrepreneurs, she urged them not to despise humble beginnings but to remain faithful, consistent and committed to their dreams.


"As we celebrate seven years of Dee Utensils in Abuja, I do not celebrate buildings, containers or achievements. I celebrate God's faithfulness," she said.


She also invited customers and supporters to share their experiences with Dee Utensils' products as part of the anniversary celebration, noting that their testimonies would inspire others and reinforce the company's commitment to quality, trust and excellent service.
