A former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo, is mobilising politicians and other Nigerians to sign on to his Coalition for Nigeria project, to oust President Muhammadu Buhari from office.
Many of those consulted by Obasanjo are said to have signed on to his elaborate plan for a mass movement away from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to “rescue” the country.
Obasanjo had in a blistering letter to President Muhammadu Buhari described the two parties as “wobbling” and unfit to run Nigeria and urging Nigerians to vote Buhari out should he insist on running.
The Nigerian government on Wednesday responded to Obasanjo, outlining many achievements of the government.
Premium Times reports that at least 7 governors, 20 senators and over 100 House of Representatives members drawn from both PDP and APC have agreed in principle with the former President to go into this coalition.
More to come…
