The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed deep sorrow over the death of the Rivers State coordinator of the OK Movement, a group dedicated to supporting the presidential campaign of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso for the upcoming 2027 elections. The announcement of her passing was made on X by a supporter of Obi, who shared the news with the message: "Rivers State OK Movement Coordinator Has Gone To Meet Her Maker." This news broke on Tuesday, October 6, and has since drawn significant attention from party members and supporters alike.

In a heartfelt tribute, the NDC acknowledged the dedication and commitment of the late coordinator, emphasizing her vital role in the movement's efforts to mobilize support at the grassroots level. The party stated that her vision for a better Nigeria would not be forgotten, and they pledged to continue the work she passionately contributed to.

The NDC's message of condolence highlighted the importance of the deceased's efforts, stating, "We thank her sincerely for her hard work, support, and dedication." They further expressed their prayers for her family, friends, and colleagues, wishing them comfort during this difficult time.

The party reassured supporters that the goals the late coordinator worked towards would be realized, affirming, "The dream of a working and thriving country, which she laboured to see come true, will be actualised through the grace of the Almighty and the resilience of the good people of Nigeria. We will not let her down."

The OK Movement, which is instrumental in the campaign for Obi and Kwankwaso, aims to galvanize support across Nigeria ahead of the elections. The late coordinator was a significant figure in establishing the movement's presence in Rivers State, contributing to the overall strategy for the upcoming electoral contest.

Peter Obi, who previously resigned from the African Democratic Congress in May 2026, was later confirmed as the NDC's presidential candidate, with Kwankwaso as his running mate. The NDC's tribute serves as a reminder of the collective effort required to achieve their political objectives, as they continue to rally support in the lead-up to the elections.
