Obasanjo's Letter: New Party, CNM Launched

In tentatively hopeful political news..

The suggestion of former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo Coalition for the formation af an alternative new major party has been heeded. The " Nigeria Movement" was inaugurated on Wednesday in Abuja.

The movement blamed the Buhari led Federal Government for “the rising unemployment, insecurity and absence of credible socio-economic programmes” in the country.

The new coalition pointed out that despite the country being in very bad shape, there seemed to be no well thought-out programme of action by the government.

Former President Obasanjo had in an open letter on January 24, advised President Buhari not to contest the 2019 general elections.

Obasanjo said that the two prominent parties — the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party — would not take the country to its desired prosperous destination, and proposed a coalition which would drive Nigerians to make positive choices during elections.

UPDATE:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a few minutes ago, officially launched the Coalition for Nigeria Movement in Ogun State.
The ex-president, who arrived at the Iwe Irohin NUJ Press Centre, Oke Ilewo, Abeokuta, accompanied by the former governors of Cross River and Osun states, Donald Duke and Olagunsoye Oyinlola, respectively, Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka, Mrs. Modupe Adelaja and top politicians from the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party, was afterward decorated with the official emblem of the Movement by Duke.
While addressing the full-packed hall, Obasanjo said his letter to Buhari last week was born not out of frivolity, but out of great concern for the situation in the country.
He added that Nigeria as a nation cannot continue business as usual, observing that:
“If the instrument we have used since independence has not worked, then we should rethink and retool to make the country work.”
Obasanjo, who stressed that Nigeria, like any other countries, has various challenges, explained that the Coalition was set up to mobilize Nigerians for peace, unity, security, stability, love, welfare and the wellbeing of vulnerable Nigerians, particularly youth and women who, according to him, have been at the receiving end of national crises.
He mentioned the disrespect for the federal character as enshrined in the country’s constitution, the spate of killings and violence across the country, and the parlous nature of Nigeria’s economy under President Buhari’s administration, as some of the reasons for the Coalition.
