Abubakar Umar (retd.), Dr Oby Ezekwesili; Prof Jibo Ibrahim; Yabagi Sanni; Amb, Nkoyo Toyo, Isa Aremu, Prof Chidi Odinkalu, and Senator Shehu Sani.

Others include: Prof. Remi Sonaiya, Mallam Tanko Yinusa, Alhaji Shettima Yerima, Lady Funke Awolowo, Peter Ameh and Ogbeni Lanre Banjo, among others.

The group will be unveiled to the public later this month. Part of the resolutions adopted after the meeting read in part, “A new ideological mass Movement shall be initiated to embark on immediate mass mobilisation of the nooks and crannies of the country for popular mass action towards political constitution reforms that is citizens-driven and process-led in engendering a new Peoples’ Constitution for a new Nigeria that can work for all.

Any party that is in for constitutional amendment organized by civilians and not senile retired army officers, is the party I'll vote for in 2023.


I build my tent in this party.

It is a political movement not political party. Besides, Nigeria can not develop the way we want it to be, because of the invisible hands that bought this country long time ago.

Fake third force. Where is CNM or CUPP today?

The names up there are very sane minds. However, they may end up becoming a civil society or advocacy group cos most of them wouldn't survive the dirty and thuggish terrain of Nigerian politics.

Bunch of jokers!

Ezekwesili would scam you a second time.

Tinubu is a failed politician.
He thinks he can hide under new political movement. Very funny

Everyone looking for a means to sink their filthy fangs into the flesh of Nigerian treasury. Funny they think we dont know this.

Watching as ever

A party with Ghali Na’abba and Col. Abubakar Umar (retd.) as members will have my total support.

Political constitution reforms that is citizens-driven and process-led in engendering a new Peoples’ Constitution for a new Nigeria that can work for all.

Please restructure or allow this contraption of a country to self disintegrate.

It would die a natural death, just like Obasanjo's useless third force

Dead on arrival. What is the political clout of these stalled politicians?
