Agbakoba Distances Self From New Political Movement

Erudite lawyer, Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, has distanced himself from the new political movement launched yesterday by some prominent Nigerian academics, professionals and politicians.

Agbakoba, in a short statement issued via Twitter on Thursday said he was not consulted and not part of the new movement contrary to reports that he was among the 30-member steering Committee of the new movement.

See statement 

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.
