, on Thursay said they were not part of the formation of a new political party, the National Consultative Front.

The party was midwifed on Wednesday by a group of politicians, Labour leaders and human rights activists, with Agbakoba named as one of the arrowheads. But, in a statement on Thursday, Agbakoba said: “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.“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.”

Umar said: “This is not true. I was never consulted and I am not part of the National Consultative Front.” The founding leaders were said to also include Femi Falana , Dr Oby Ezekwesili and former Central Bank Deputy Governor Mailafia Obadiah, whose goal is to have a party with an ideological outlook and mobilise Nigerians to take power as the African National Congress did in South Africa.
