Political positions
Speaking a year before his assassination Ogaili expressed qualified support for the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki:
"The Sadr bloc does not seek to change the prime minister....We don't believe in pulling out from the united Shiite alliance. We do not claim that this alliance is the best, but it is the best among what is available now."
