A former chieftain of the Labour Party and organizer for Peter Obi’s 2023 campaign, Marcel Ngogbehei, has joined the re-election push for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ngogbehei, who previously served as the Director of Strategy for the Peter Obi Support Network and Chairman of the Coalition for Peter Obi (CPO), has been appointed as the Director-General of the alliance between the Tinubu Must Stay (TMS) Movement and the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration (DMI).
His appointment was announced by Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, the Convener and Board of Trustees Chairman of the Tinubu Must Stay Movement, with a focus on grassroots engagement and public accountability.
Abdullahi said his more than 25 years of working with Ngogbehei had convinced him of his leadership capacity.
“I have known Marcel for over 25 years. We have worked together, faced difficult challenges together and delivered results together.
“I know his character, I know his ability, and I trust him to deliver,” Abdullahi said.
Abdullahi cited their work at Galaxy Backbone Plc and the Central Bank of Nigeria, where they contributed to technology projects, including the CBN Cashless Policy and the bank’s Enterprise Architecture function, which he said generated savings of more than $1 million.
Ngogbehei previously served as Director of Strategy of the Peter Obi Support Network and later chaired the CPO.
He subsequently became DMI Director-General before the organisation formalised its alliance with the Tinubu Must Stay Movement.

The movement said the alliance would challenge opposition parties to offer concrete alternatives to government policies while insisting that the Tinubu administration should also be judged by its performance.
“Nigerians are tired of promises without clear plans. If you say the government is wrong, tell the people what you will do better.
“How will you create jobs? How will you reduce the cost of living? How will you improve electricity, schools and hospitals? And where will the money come from?” the statement said.
Ngogbehei, a Computer and Electronics Engineering graduate of Lagos State University, has worked on technology and public-sector projects in Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
He also founded GiveBack2Humanity, an initiative focused on youth mentorship and community development.
As Director-General, he will coordinate the alliance’s organisational structures, grassroots mobilisation and civic-accountability activities ahead of the 2027 polls.
