Olisa Agbakoba, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), says he
is not part of a new political movement known as the National Consultative
Front.
The formation of the movement was announced in a communique
on Wednesday.
Agbakoba was listed alongside Ghali Na’abba, a former
speaker of the house of representatives; Femi Falana, human rights lawyer;
Obadiah Mailafia, ex-deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and
Oby Ezekwesili as members of the movement.
Others are Abubakar Umar, Jibo Ibrahim, Chidi Odinkalu,
Shehu Sani, a former senator; Remi Sonaiya, former presidential candidate.
The movement said it is “aimed at driving reforms” in the
country.
But in a series of tweets on Thursday, the SAN said he was
not consulted so he is not part of the movement.
“Dear all, my attention has been drawn to a widely
circulated story that I am part of a new political movement known as the
National Consultative Front,” the lawyer tweeted.
“Without prejudice to the need for such a political
movement, I want to place it on record that I was not consulted and so I am not
part of the National Consultative Front.”
