Olusegun Obasanjo, former
President, on Thursday declared that he sees a “new Nigeria in the hands of
God”.
He made the declaration when he
registered as a member of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) in Abeokuta,
the Ogun State capital.
According to Obasanjo, “Coalition
for Nigeria Movement is proposed as the new direction to mobilise the country’s
population for unity, cooperation, development, rule of law, employment, law
and order, justice, integration, peace, security, welfare and well-begin.
“I am happy to be a member of the
Coalition for Nigeria Movement. The movement is a pressure point towards good
governance. This is the commencement of our popular and grassroots association.
“It is necessary to make clear
that this movement does not regard itself as a third force. It sees itself as a
popular movement that can accommodate all Nigeria irrespective of their
political interest or afflictions and will propel Nigeria forward.
“Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians
to be made right and the coalition with others of the same view and like minds
will leave no stone unturned to actualise God-given potentials of our country.
The movement will spearhead process, programme, policies and priorities to make
Nigeria a great country playing its expected roles within West Africa, Africa
and the world.
“I see a new Nigeria in the hands
of God and we will all be witnesses of the emergence of a new Nigeria.”
Obasanjo, however, warned that he
would withdraw his membership of the movement, if it decided transform into a
political party.
“If the movement decides to
transform itself and go into politics, I will cease to be a member. And as a
member for now, I accept all the conditions attached to membership of the
coalition,” he said.
