The
coalition being spearheaded by former president Olusegun Obasanjo has
reportedly adopted the African Democratic Congress as its political
party.
A former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, may have quit the
Coalition for Nigeria Movement as the movement has adopted a political
party, African Democratic Congress, to realise its dream of a new
Nigeria, Punch Metro reports.
He gave this hint on Thursday evening when he addressed the press at his presidential library home in Abeokuta.
In a speech he titled ‘My treatise for future of democracy and development in Nigeria’, Obasanjo said, “Let
me start by welcoming and commending the emergence of a renewed and
reinvigorated African Democratic Congress, ADC, as a political party.
“Since the inception of Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNM,
many of the sixty-eight registered political parties had contacted and
consulted with the Movement on coming together and working together.
“The leadership of the Movement, after detailed examination,
wide consultation and bearing in mind the orientation, policies and
direction of the Movement, have agreed to adopt ADC as its platform to
work with others for bringing about desirable change in the Nigeria
polity and governance.”
