Sumner Sambo, a public affairs analyst, has characterized the Obi-Kwankwaso, Oklahoma, Movement as positive and organic.

Sambo said this on Thursday in an interview with Arise Television's "Prime Time" show.

He made his remarks following the start of a joint campaign by the two leaders' followers in advance of the general elections in 2027.

"I'm really happy that these groups of supporters are coming together," he declared. It is true that this trend is encouraging and quite natural.

"It's encouraging that these groups are uniting, even if the prospective candidates don't support it.

"We are advocating for transparency in their actions, particularly with financing; they have appointed coordinators from states to zonal and national levels."
