2019: Obasanjo claims his proposed CNM has registered 3m members

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday revealed that the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) has recorded over three million members across the country.

Obasanjo had proposed CNM in the letter in which he accused President Muhammadu Buhari of running an incompetent and nepotistic government, advising him to go home and rest and not seek re-election.

The former president had in that letter called on Nigerians to join CNM, which he said will be a non-partisan movement, as a platform to ensure the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are voted out in the 2019 general elections.

Obasanjo disclosed the CNM progress while fielding questions from women at the 14th annual lecture of the Women in Management, Business, and Public Service at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

“The Coalition for Nigeria Movement is penetrating to the grassroots. And presently there are over three million members who have registered,” he said.

When asked if he was going to write another letter on a burning national issue concerning women marginalisation in governance he said, “After my last letter, it will take some time before I write another one.”
