Leaders of Conscience under the auspices of the National Consultative Front (NCFront), has welcomed the formation of the Rescue Nigeria Project (RNP), describing it as an expansion of the Third Force movement in Nigeria.
RNP, being promoted by a former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, Prof. Pat Utomi and others was launched on Tuesday.
The NCFront stated that, in line with its founding mandate, it is prepared to fuse all variants of the Third Force Movement including RNP, Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM), the EndSars Movement and the yet to be launched Alliance for the Defence of Democracy (ADD), among others into one single formidable political bloc ahead of the 2023 elections.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the National Secretariat of the NCFront and signed by its Media Assistant, Yusuf Abdullahi Suleiman, the NCFront said it was optimistic that the emergence of the RNP will strengthen the Rescue Agenda initiated by the NCFront in July, 2020.
Meanwhile, the promoters of RNP have said that the platform would be launched in November.
The group, in a communiqué issued at the end of its inaugural caucus meeting held in Abuja, emphasised the need for the country to be rescued in 2023.
RNP’s communiqué was signed by a former governor of Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed and Dr Usman Bugaje.
It said after exhaustive deliberations on the way forward to rescue the country from bad governance, the caucus emphasised the need to launch its platform “as soon as possible” to engage Nigerians on the core values and cardinal principles of RNP.
