Ahead of the 2023 general elections prominent Nigerians have established a third force, ‘Rescue Nigeria Project’ (RNP), to give Nigerians an alternative platform to the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC), and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
Founders of RNP include former governor of Kwara State, AbdulFatah Ahmed, Prof. Pat Utomi, former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, Prof. Tunde Adeniran, amongst others.
Others include Senator Lee Maeba, Usman Bugaje, Prof. Attahiru Jega, Amb. Nkoyo Toyo, Yomi Awoniyi, Dr. Rose Idi Danladi, Dr. Sadiq Gombe.
In his keynote address, Abdulfatah lamented the state of the nation, noting that the high level of nepotism and lack of exclusiveness have given rise to agitations by different ethnic groups.
He said that in 2015, Nigerians embraced change, adding that today, that change appears to be what we didn’t expect, as insecurity has taken over the nation.
