The National Consultative Front (NCFront), a major political consortium of leading opposition forces in Nigeria, has revealed an ongoing move to unite the major candidates in the 2023 presidential election.
It specifically mentioned former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwakwanso as some of those it was trying to unite to form a new mega movement to save Nigeria from the “misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
The group led by Prof. Pat Utomi disclosed this in a statement issued by its national spokesperson, Mallam Hamisu San Turaki on Tuesday.
NCFront commended and applauded the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, for what it described as his “deft political moves to rally leading opposition leaders in the country to engage and challenge the misrule of the country by the ruling APC”.
The group added that Obi’s consultations with Atiku, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, and other leading opposition figures in the country had been adopted by NCFront.
