The Ondo state branch of the Coalition for Nigeria (CN), has been inaugurated in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Present at the inauguration were several current and former members of both the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Addressing the gathering, the state coordinator in Ondo, Mr. Demola Ijabiyi emphasized the forum was not a political party yet, but a mass movement interested in restoring good governance in the country.

“APC and PDP are vessels of darkness. We are bringing people to light as nobody will like to remain in darkness,” Mr. Ijabiyi said.

“There is the need to liberate ourselves from the bondage of these exploiters who have no solution to the problems of the country.”

“We are not a political party, further articulation of the movement’s general direction would determine whether it would metamorphose into a political party or not.

“Already there are several movements coming up that would align with this coalition to achieve the desired goals.”

Mr. Ijabiyi also noted the youth would form the largest component of those to lead the movement and determine leaders at various levels.

Recall former president Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday also formally registered as a member of the movement in Abeokuta, Ogun state.
