The proposed
political movement by former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Coalition for
Nigeria, CN, has been launched in Abuja.
The launch
held at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja
Former
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Donald Duke
were in attendance.
Obasanjo suggested the formation of
the movement in his recent statement on President Muhammadu Buhari and his
administration.
Speaking at the event, Oyinlola
said the group is not yet a political party.
Oyinlola said for it to make
electoral impact in the manner described by the former President, they would
need to follow the constitution and register it as a political party.
He said,
“If and when we come to an agreement that we must metaphose into a political
party, then we will.
“We’re not a political party, at
least, for now. “We recognise the facts that by
the dictates of the Constitution, you can only contest on the platform of a
political party.”
