Light weight politicians, if they manage to win, PDP and APC losers will still defect to the party and start causing nuisance

this is a very good point....cross carpeting is one of the albatross of Nigeria politics

If you don’t have a PVC, now is the time to get yours. You’ll soon need it. That is your power to make changes not “internet comments”.

They are wasting their time if there's no strong mechanism to destabilize the cabals.
Also they should have strong back up and agents in the para military and military agencies, cos they are the real tool of these dominant political parties.
Also they should be enough sensitization in schools, comunities and colleges.
They should also know that the children of these politicians will team up to fight back, because you intend to destroy the source of their affluence and luxury.

4FACEADELEKE:
its a nice combination, the question is can they take over power come 2019?if there can't there should not divide votes,cos that will give Buhari an edge to triumph strongly in the north. The northners we know from history vote based on religious and ethnic affiliations.

So also the southerners

Their children should also be involved in the fight to take OVER power from wasted , ill equipped politicians.

I am sure the calibre of people involved are intelligent enough to know how to go about achieving their aim. Nigeria is ripe to be taken off the grip of the cabal. #It'sOurTime

johndanny:

You spoke my mind... Those grandpas should go and rest cause they have nothing to offer... But the group still have a lot of work to do especially up north where those bloody illiterates are..

my brother you wrote the truth especially the bolded....illetracy will never make many up north to vote reasonable

dunkem21:
They want to divide the south and pave way for APC to win.

Shine your eyes peeps; Once beaten, twice shy

How will they divide the South? The South should use their brain instead and stop doing follow follow up and down. PDP and APC will both present same abo.ki born to rule candidates, so why should southerner with a functioning brain not vote for a Donald duke and team of intelligent , diplomatic and enlightened people.

It's such a big shame to have a leader who cannot even speak simple English. A leader who is not diplomatic and you can hardly comprehend what he is saying when he speaks. How can such leader move a country forward.

Buhari has already won 2019. They should show us what they can do different from what Buhari has done.

[This group should make sure that only people of integrity join the party, start from d grassroots and campaign from there. I am sure that many people will be willing to help this party succeedquote author=nwakibie3 post=64304038]Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM), which has former Cross River State governor, Donald Duke, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Charles Soludo, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Olisa Agbakoba, Tafawa Balewa, and Prof. Pat Utomi, as members, has vowed to rescue Nigeria in 2019.

The group said it would be providing an alternative to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Former Education minister, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili is also a member of the group, including former Information minister, Frank Nweke Jnr, Col. Abubakar Umar (retd), Ayo Obe, Rabiu Ishyaku Rabiu, former presidential adviser, Akin Osuntokun.

A statement from the NIM secretariat in Abuja, yesterday, described the group as a pro-democracy movement and pressure group of like-minded Nigerians who are committed to changing the political order, which has failed to fashion a Nigeria that works for all.

“NIM is concerned that the political elite, since independence, and particularly, since the exit of the military from visible power in 1999, has proved that it is ill-equipped and unprepared for the challenge of transforming our nation from its under-developed status to one that is prosperous and can create a veritable environment for the realisation of its citizens’ potentials and well-being.

“It is clear that the political elite, as currently represented by the two dominant political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressive Congress (APC), among others, have failed Nigerians, for lack of clear Ideology and principle on how to run the country.

“Concerned that left to their schemes and antics, this class of entrenched leaders will lead Nigeria into a state of indescribable human misery, characterised by death, hunger, disease, illiteracy and manipulation.

“Therefore, the NIM, being unable to continue to stand aloof, has decided to create a third political force, a platform to mobilise all citizens of goodwill and conscience towards engendering a new political system and culture in Nigeria, capable of bringing about the desired opportunities for all to actualise their dreams and potentialities; a nation where no man or group is oppressed.”

The statement noted that to drive NIM’s vision are: Dr. Olisa Agbakoba (Co-Chair); Dr. Jhalil Tafawa Balewa (Co-Chair); Professor Pat Utomi (Deputy Chair); Rabiu Ishyaku Rabiu (Deputy Chair); Comrade Isah Aremu (Deputy Chair) and Chief Akin Osuntokun (Deputy Chair).

Other officers include Hajia Aisha Aliyu (Women Leader), Mr Dayo Israel (Youth Leader), Dr Osagie Obayuwana (Legal Adviser), Hajia Shetu Alfa Ibrahim (Treasurer), Mallam Naseer Kura (Publicity Secretary), Col. Abubakar Umar Dangiwa (Ex -Officio), Dr Oby Ezekwesili (Ex -Officio) and Mrs Ayo Obe (Ex-Officio), Sir Olawale Okunniyi (National Secretary/Director General).

Chairmen of standing committees are: Mr Donald Duke (Finance Committee); Prof Jibrin Ibrahim (Ideology Commission); Comrade Najeem Usman (Political Commission); Mallam Tanko Yinusa (Mobilisation); Mr Wale Ajani (Students & Youth); Mr Taiwo Akinola (Diaspora Commission); Mr Tony Uranta (Strategy & Engagement) and Mallam Shittu Kabir (Contact/Logistics).

am joining those team up there.

they seems knowledgeable.
they have purpose.

If they can get their act together before 2019.
am rooting for them.

Humility017:

my brother you wrote the truth especially the bolded....illetracy will never make many up north to vote reasonable

There are many northerners involved in the movement, they will be able to exert at least some influence on their people.

mumayyez:

So also the southerners

that of the northerners is more alarming.... I live here in the north...illetracy here is on the high side

yeyerolling:
Buhari must complete 8 years abeg. Una wey vote am never suffer enuf

You are quite dumb not to reason that All Nigerian's past President and head of state have been a mistake. Everyone needs a change and no one can be blamed for their options. Most that voted Buhari never went for stomach infrastructure which means they are more sensible than you that went to vote for Jonathan goodluck. Keep striving for change even if there are mistakes because even the political parties are mistakes

Let's change the 'changer'

This group is not complete without the like of : Fela Durotoye, Leke Aldar and Dr. Fredrick Chijioke Eze

MrPristine:

it's like you don't know how charismatic buhari is....
him merely lifting your hands here in the north and asking them to vote for you....can make you clear all votes here...

he is a demigod...any political party desiring to unseat him need dp extra work....serious one.
his photograph can win even atiku here in the north...coupled wit the illiteracy rate here.

it's gonna be difficult

They should do their best to bring other professional and able youthful politicians on board from other Geo-Political zones ...I pot with them already ,almajiris style of govt must be sent parking very fast

I pity pdp

I concur. Long awaited emergence. God help us.

Right thinking, this is not the time for men of concience to keep quiet and watch this nation driven into a ditch by people who have sworn to see Sharia spread all over the country at the expense of others.

It is by the words of their mouth we know them.

By the way, I don't know how these old cultist can ever go through election. They have used money to buy the souls of some people and they are masters in the art of election rigging. So to me we need a very strong force to terminate their political career and ambitions even in their octogenarian age.

I don't want to mention what I think can do that, your guess is as good as mine. A youth revolution may be.

Now am interested in naija politics again...
I lost hope after Buhari failed us but my hope is renewed..
Time to go follow oby straight

Dead on arrival. None of these people can connect with the grassroots.

In every contest there are pretenders and contenders, certainly the people mentioned here are desirable but the reality is they are just pretenders,.

If a elections are only conducted on twitter or nairaland then they may get something but for as long as elections is determine by the critical mass with solid structures the Two contenders are either APC or PDP.

Fine face and good speech cannot make you President in Nigeria, what you need is money and structure at almost every ward in the country, this is not SUG elections.

What i say may be bitter but is the truth in Nigeria

If they really want to unseat APC they should join PDP, any other hurriedly arranged group is dead on arrival

I hope the youth la will shun ethnic and religion sentiments a d vote for youth and technocrats like this sets of people, I believe in u guys, try and galvanize the youths. God help 9ja

i voted KOWA . APC and PDP are all scammers. PMB till 2023

I just need to see these three guys join this group.

Sen Shehu Sani, Sent Ben Bruce and SAN Fashola.

Nigerians wise up...i see no difference btw this group and APC, APC was formed to stand against PDP,yet we are complaining...we are not done with the mess PDP created..you guys want to return to square one where they will start blaming APC for their own inability to perform if they eventually gain power come 2019...pls let APC finish wat they started..These people are another group of scavengers looking to fat their bank accounts..

don't mind them, the truth is the only person that can may rattle Buhari is kwankwaso, because to most northerners he is the alternative if Buhari is not there
