The National Consultative Front (NCF) have announced mobilizations against political corruption, rising poverty and insecurity in Nigeria.
According to the group led by Professor Pat Utomi, Alhjai Ghali Umar Na’Abba and Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the NCF is embarking on the mobilisation due the inability of President Muhammadu Buhari to solve the problems of corruption, insecurity and poverty in Nigeria.
They alleged that the president is helpless and caged while urging Nigerians to work with the group to end official corruption and flagrant abuse of public trust in the country. The NCF said this was the only way the country can survive the current rape of its economy by the current set of rampaging politicians.
According to the head of publicity for the NCF, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, the group will establish an Elders advisory council, flag off zonal structures and inaugurate grassroots committees ahead of its formal launch in Nigeria come January 2021.
The statement released by the leaders of the group read;
“All Nigerians of Conscience are again being passionately enjoined to stand up and join hands with the unwavering resolve of the National Consultative Front, NCFront to make the required sacrifices towards cleansing and sanitizing Nigeria’s centres of power and in smashing and flushing our prevailing corruptive political system being sustained by a tiny clique of power mongers and political merchants marauding as the country’s leaders.

“In view of the various unimaginable melodrama and macabre dance of corruption and chaos within the top echelon of the Nigerian political leadership and government, which has been exposing the cause of high-level insecurity and hunger in the country today, it has also become imperative for us as victims of the increasing misgovernance and official impunity to halt the festering rot and political coronavirus in the country’s power centre.
“Consequently, all of us as citizens of conscience should have no choice but to urgently rise in unison to utilize our collective power as a vast majority of united citizens capable of chasing out that clique of ruinous political cartel ravaging our commonwealth enabled by their self-serving capture of our Government and State, now being ruthlessly deployed to milking us to stupor, while riding roughshod on us as a people.
“It is for this reason that the ongoing nationwide consultations and mobilisation of the NCFront are being strategically deployed towards engendering a credible alternative political leadership and government for the Nigerian people through an all-inclusive nationwide mass resistance and action
“This is because a situation, where the President of Nigeria is caged and his office is being run by some unelected clique of proxies and power traders, operating without pretence to any form of mandate from the Nigerian people, is unfathomable and unacceptable and must be massively resisted and neutralized before we, as a country are all thrown into a major disaster and turmoil.”
