2023: New mega party to dislodge APC, PDP set to emerge

Ahead of the 2023 general elections, a new mega political movement is set to be floated.

Some prominent Nigerians under the auspices of the National Consultative Front made this known on Tuesday.

The group said the aim of the political movement is to rescue Nigeria from the grips of bad leaders and the main leading party in the country, PDP and APC.

They also said their first mission would be to mobilise towards having a new constitution that works for all which would serve as a basis for sponsoring credible candidates in the next election.

Among the leaders were former presidential candidate, Prof. Pat Utomi, former House of Representatives Speaker, Hon. Ghali Na’Abba, and a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association,  Olisa Agbakoba, among others.

They said they “are deeply disturbed by the disastrous failure of political leadership and unimaginable state collapse in Nigeria, as evident in the pervasive insurgencies, banditry, kidnapping, general insecurity as well as the dangerous slide of the Nigerian economy into depression, which has dimmed the hope of Nigerians at independence; rendering our most talented young people incapacitated, to seeking greener pastures in better managed foreign countries.”

Other leaders who endorsed the resolution after the meeting include Dr. Hakeem Baba Ahmed, Prof Kingsley Moghalu, Dr Obadiah Mailafia, Prof Mrs Remi Sonaiya, Comrade Issa Aremu, Prof Chidi Odinkalu, Chief Precious Elekima, Arch Ezekiel Nya-Etok, Dr Tanko Yunusa and HC Peter Ameh.
