I Had To Step Down’ — OK Movement DG Resigns, Gives Reason
The Director-General of the OK Movement, Peter Ameh, has resigned from his position with immediate effect amid the ongoing crisis within the political group supporting the Peter Obi–Rabiu Kwankwaso presidential ticket under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Ameh announced his resignation in Abuja on Tuesday.
In a resignation letter made available to Vanguard, he explained that he was stepping down to concentrate on his campaign for the Kogi East Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general election.
He said:
“I hereby formally tender my resignation as Director-General of the OK Movement, effective immediately.
“This decision will enable me to devote the necessary time and energy to my campaign for the Kogi East Senatorial District, where I am the candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC.”
Ameh Reaffirms Support for Peter Obi
Despite his departure as Director-General, Ameh stressed that his resignation would not affect his loyalty to the NDC or its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, whom he described as his leader.
He also said he would fully support whoever Obi chooses as his successor in the movement.
“I humbly accept any individual appointed by my leader to succeed me in this role.”
Ameh praised Obi for what he described as his integrity, credibility and exemplary leadership, saying those qualities were instrumental to the formation and development of the OK Movement.
“I wish to express my profound gratitude to my leader, Mr Peter Obi, for his exemplary leadership, unwavering integrity, and enduring credibility.”
According to him, Obi’s qualities have continued to shape the movement’s vision and objectives.
‘I Remain Committed’
The former Director-General maintained that leaving his position would not mean abandoning the ideals of the movement.
He pledged to continue supporting the objectives that brought members of the OK Movement together and wished the organisation success going forward.
“I remain firmly committed to the ideals that united us and wish the OK Movement every success in its future endeavours.”
