The much anticipated political movement, now tagged the Coalition for Nigeria, which Chief Olusegun Obasanjo talked about in his lengthy letter to President Muhammadu Buhari recently, will now be launched on January 31.
The movement, according to Premium Times, is currently being coordinated by a Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former governor of Osun state, a close ally to the former president.

The report said the movement would make some appointments for effective running as well as stave off crisis after its launch in Abuja.
It quoted a source as saying: “Oyinlola is now acting as the national spokesman; such roles would be appointed at all levels, including state, senatorial zones, down to ward level.”
NAIJ.com earlier reported how ahead of 2019 election, former president Olusegun Obasanjo is reportedly gathering an army of politicians to form a coalition and oust President Muhammadu Buhari as well as revamp politics and economy in Nigeria.
The coalition so far has the support of seven governors and twenty senators as well as other notable politicians.
