The Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration (DMI) has formed an alliance with the Tinubu Must Stay (TMS) Movement ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The leader of DMI, Marcel Ngogbehei, in a statement issued on Monday, said the development marked a new political direction for the organisation, which mobilised grassroots support for Peter Obi during the 2023 general elections.
He said the partnership was agreed upon during a courtesy visit to London involving him and the leader of the TMS Movement, Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi.
Ngogbehei disclosed that plans were underway to establish a permanent civic accountability programme to examine political promises, proposed solutions, funding arrangements and their potential impact on citizens.
He said the programme would continue beyond the 2027 general elections.
He said the alliance would usher in a new chapter in DMI’s engagement with national development, public policy and citizen participation.
“Our alliance with the movement is about encouraging that conversation. Opposition is a democratic right, but credible alternatives matter,” he said.
According to Ngogbehei, the alliance following DMI’s national strategy session held on September 18, 2026 where members authorised the leadership to explore new political and institutional partnerships amid the prolonged crisis within the Labour Party.
