…Alhaji Manni Ahmed, Perry Opara, Ralph Nwosu lead offensive …We’re not disappointed, opposition groups’ll work together —PDP …Buhari, APC taking Nigerians for fools, says Obasanjo; that’s his opinion—APC ….Third force takes on ruling party By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor, Chris Ochayi, Daud Olatunji & Emeka Elebeke
LAGOS — Opposition to the All Progressives Congress, APC, got a fillip yesterday, when the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo-inspired Coalition for Nigeria Movement, CNM, collapsed into the African Democratic Congress, ADC, with the aim of enthroning a new generation of leaders in the country.
This is as Obasanjo said President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, APC, had taken Nigerians for fools. The collapse of CNM came as its co-founder, Chief Olagunsoye Oyinlola resigned his membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. He also resigned his position as chairman of the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, to boot. Oyinlola announced the development, while addressing newsmen in Abuja at a conference attended by Mr. Akin Oshuntokun, spokesman of the CNM and founder and national chairman of the ADC, Chief Ralph Nwosu. Speaking three hours later at a separate briefing in Abeokuta, Ogun State, former President Obasanjo said the collapse of CNM into the ADC was a way of reversing the fortunes of the country which he said had taken a turn for the worse in the last three years. Despite the snub to his former party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, President Obasanjo nevertheless toned down his disparagement of the former ruling party, asking Nigerians to consider the party’s plea for forgiveness even as he said that the party has disappointed by not disciplining those who brought it to the path of infamy.
