APC, PDP Members Are Involved In Coalition To Dethrone Tinubu – Pat Utomi

The Leader of the National Consultative Front, Prof Pat Utomi has come out to speak about ongoing moves to form a formidable coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress in the 2027 general elections.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, several discontented members of the APC and Peoples Democratic Party are keen on joining the coalition because they want to save Nigeria from the brink of collapse.

He added that the approach is to focus on core influence groups within parties who subscribe to their values and development strategy.

His words, “This is serious business. Nigeria is on the brink at a time of a changing global order.

The approach we now take is to focus on core influence groups within parties.

In this regard, there are good people who subscribe to our values and development strategy in APC and PDP who have significant following and believe there is a better way and have reached out to us.

The Social Democratic Party that you have referred to is a work in progress. About five other parties are going through similar processes.

Also bear in mind that huge numbers are getting ready to leave the APC and PDP and have been reaching out. But the core must be firmly fixed.

It needs a national unity government focused on a developmental state focused on bringing progress to every nook and cranny of Nigeria, not egotists and narcissists looking for state capture to burnish bloated personal accounts around the world while their country slides into the economic abyss.

Another point is that leadership of the new order must be collective. No more of the Buhari or “Baba sope” approach that got in the way of a collective good goal in the past iterations of rescue missions. Decisions must be made collectively. We will not be victims of groupthink anymore.

A collective shadow team will be active shortly and, where necessary, we will turn to people power to reset the agenda of our country.

It is to make democracy work for the people and to ensure a government with a people-centred focus accelerates constitutional reforms for a better working Nigeria.

It also aims to redeem the collapse of culture in Nigeria as well as showing by example how a disciplined political party acts, especially in how more capable and values-driven people are recruited into public life.

The change we deserve is about a core of people who are a self-sacrificing group focused on disciplined organization to move the apparatus of cooperation and state authority.

It is also to advance the common good in an atmosphere of freedom that is democratic, transparent and people-centred because touts and criminals abound in many parties and will take money from those in power to simulate the appearance of crisis.”

WOW.
