Former President Obasanjo Registers As Member Of Coalition For Nigeria Movement

Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has registered as a member of the Coalition For Nigeria Movement, a day after the movement was officially launched in Abuja.

The group, which came as a fall-out from the open letter Obasanjo wrote to President Buhari, is established to help Nigeria overcome the myriad of challenges it is facing.

The former President registered as a member of the coalition in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Thursday.

His absence at Wednesday’s launch of the coalition in Abuja had led to questions about his involvement with the group.

But his registration as a member of the group on Thursday has put an end to speculations about whether he would be part of the movement.

“We need a Coalition for Nigeria, CN. Such a Movement at this juncture needs not be a political party but one to which all well-meaning Nigerians can belong. That Movement must be a coalition for democracy, good governance, social and economic well-being and progress,” Obasanjo had written in his explosive statement.

“Coalition to salvage and redeem our country. You can count me with such a Movement. Last time, we asked, prayed and worked for change and God granted our request. This time, we must ask, pray and work for change with unity, security and progress.”
