BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT

It is no longer debatable that our country Nigeria has been brought to her
knees, and is tottering on the brink of collapse.

In no more than the life of a generation, our nation and people are witnessing
the catastrophic failure of governance and the near collapse of virtually all our
national institutions; such that we have now become the country with the

We are categorical about those who should accept responsibility for our
failures as a nation 1960-2018; and as visionary presidential aspirants coming

We denounce such coalition and defection forming pranks and antics as
calculated attempts to deceive the mass of our people.
We call on the mass of our people, who are victims of their misrule, not to
