Ex-Ogun gov aspirant unveils national opposition movement, slams PDP, others

A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party and a former governorship aspirant in Ogun State has launched a national opposition coalition network. This initiative aims to safeguard the nation and its democracy from potential threats. The coalition seeks to address the lack of a robust opposition capable of checking the current government’s actions. The focus is on reviving citizen engagement, promoting democratic values, and combatting vote-buying practices. The movement is not intended to become a political party but rather to provide guidance and education on opposition-related issues. The goal is to engage various stakeholders and promote a sustainable democracy in Nigeria. The movement plans to organize advocacy campaigns, educate the public on electoral processes, and discourage vote trading. It emphasizes the importance of holding accountable those who exploit the system for personal gain and aims to prevent the country from being manipulated by individuals with ulterior motives. Town hall meetings will be conducted at different levels to involve the populace and establish partnerships for the movement’s activities.
