The proposed Third Force movement is former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s sheer deceit to draw attention of innocent Nigerians to himself, according to ex-Nigerian Ambassador to Uganda Omolade Oluwateru.
Oluwateru stated this on Thursday in Akure, stressing that the country needs structures to strengthen its democracy. He said: “I do not believe in third force agenda of former President Olusegun Obasanjo because it is a sham.
“We need to strengthen our existing structures that will help our nascent democracy and not causing multiple problems in the country.“Obasanjo said he does not want to belong to any political party still he is agitating for a third force; what third force is that?”
“They are telling lies that 27 senators will be joining them while 10 governors are already on the movement; which party are they joining, especially now that election is near?” he stated. According to him, there are only two political parties in Nigeria, apart from APGA, as at today, that can win the presidential election.
In addition, he noted: “I hope the electorate have learnt their lesson now collecting N5, 000 to vote and begin to complain later amounts to selling their consciences.“The best thing the electorate can do next time is to collect money, if politicians offer them, and vote according to their consciences.”
