The Coalition was initiated last week against the background of the current threats to Nigeria’s nascent democracy, national stability and the credibility of the 2019 elections, especially with regards to the constitutional crisis foisted by the recent actions of the incumbent government against the Nigerian Judiciary.
This is also to complement the meeting held by leaders of thought, Presidential Candidates, Political Parties, Civil Society and Labour Movements, Stakeholder and Allies of the third force movement in Nigeria on January 31, 2019 at the Banquet Hall of the Sheraton Hotels in Lagos.
