Project Nigeria Mobilises Leaders In Event of Post-election Logjam
The national intervention group of Project Nigeria Movement led by two leading; Elder statesmen Prof Ben Nwabueze, SAN and Alhaji Maitama Sule has said it has commenced nationwide mobilization of its leaders of conscience to secure Nigeria’s hard won civil rule in the event of a possible political logjam in Saturday’s presidential pollsThe group in a statement Thursday said the national intervention team recently set up by the movement is being chaired by Eminent Jurist and former Bar association President, Chief Olisa Agbakoba, SAN who is to lead twelve other leaders of thought and front line political activists from Nigeria’s six geo political zones to monitor and engage the eventual fall-outs from the ongoing electoral process
According to the coordinating Secretary of the group, Olawale Okunniyi in Lagos on Thursday the coalition has based its tactical initiative on the outcome of its recent nationwide consultations on the future of Nigeria as well as the desperate struggle for power by the aspiring political class ahead of the 2015 polls in Nigeria
“The way the 2015 electoral process is crystallizing like a war, the hard earned political palliative christened democracy in Nigeria may be dealt a disastrous blow and so there is an urgent need for a drastic intervention of patriotic leaders of conscience in the country to be mobilized to save the country from the impending doom of disintegration predicted for this year by the United States in 2005
Therefore our structures and allies, all over the country, have been directed to be on the alert to give popular leadership to their people in the light of any possible threat to the stability of the country arising from the 2015 elections” Okunniyi stated
He also reiterated the group’s earlier position that from the assessment of the build up to the 2015 elections the only political initiative that can ensure Nigeria’s stability and survival of the ongoing democratic experiment is nothing short a popular coalition government otherwise known as inclusive government of national unity that can be applied as antidote to the do or die politics arising from the ‘winner takes all’ syndrome in Nigeria’s electoral contest
The group while lamenting the various booby traps and danger already foisted on the 2015 elections by various campaigns of calumny and violent activities of the political class however hinted that selected leaders from across the six geo political zones are billed to meet with Elderstatesman Dr Tunji Braithwaite, Alhaji Balarabe Musa and the Chair of the intervention group, Olisa Agbakoba among others on Monday to assess the outcome of presidential elections in charting the way forward for the country
