She said the council had been entrusted with taking the message and aspirations of the movement’s principals from the cities to the grassroots, including local government areas, wards and communities across the country.
“Your selection is not merely an appointment; it is a call to duty, sacrifice, leadership and service to Nigeria,” Sani said.
She described the movement as being driven by what its leadership calls a broader national vision rather than individual recognition.
“The OK Movement is not built around individuals seeking personal recognition. It is a movement driven by a larger national vision: to mobilise Nigerians around the possibility of a better, more prosperous, united and functional Nigeria,” she said.
Sani also stressed the importance of strategic planning, grassroots mobilisation, communication and coordination among council members as preparations for the 2027 election continue.
She concluded with the movement’s campaign slogan: “A New Nigeria Is Possible. Nigeria Will Be OK.”
The unveiling of the council marks another organisational step by the OK Movement as it prepares to expand its mobilisation and engagement activities across Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.
