NIM salutes Obasanjo for endorsing Third Force Movement for Nigeria

The Nigeria Intervention Movement has saluted what it termed the political acumen and vision of former President Olusegun Obasanjo for calling on all Nigerians to immediately join forces to bring about a Coalition for Nigeria, a political Third Force Movement that will rescue the country from the impunity and inertia of the two dominant parties in Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress.
By Obasanjo’s pronouncement on Tuesday, NIM said the validity of its third force initiative has once again been proven by the elder statesman, who is not known to be associated with frivolity.
It will be recalled that Obasanjo on Tuesday charged Nigerians to henceforth seek for their political and economic salvation in the direction of a political third force outside the PDP and APC, which he said have both grossly disappointed the people of Nigeria.
The group added in the statement: “NIM affirms that Obasanjo’s historic clarion call to the Nation at its formative stage has profoundly validated the initiative of NIM’s Conveners to facilitate an all inclusive, non partisan pan Nigerian political third force to rescue the country from the impunity and lack lustre performance of traditional political elites in the PDP and APC among others.
“While endorsing and applauding OBJ historic statement on the way forward for Nigeria in the march towards the 2019, NIM wishes to clearly states its resolve to embrace the strategic counsel contained in the Elder statesman treaties on how the emergent Movement can rally and work with other Movements in building a major Coalition for Nigeria to save Nigerians from an inert political leadership.
To this end, the leadership of NIM shall be ready, in the succeeding weeks, to enter into strategic talks and alliance with more platforms sharing similar philosophy and ideology towards the consolidation of the much desired Coalition for Nigeria advocated by the Former President.”
The statement was signed by Mallam Naseer Kura, NIM’s Deputy Director General in charge of Media, Communications and Publicity.
