However, commending the motivation behind the formation, Falana said he was in support of “all efforts aimed at creating an alternative platform with the potential of lifting the long suffering people of Nigeria from economic and political stupor”. “However, I observe that my name has been mentioned as one of the pillars behind this initiative.
