Third Force Coalition : Elites led Political Distraction working for Buhari Reelection in 2019 ?




By Ikechukwu Emeka Onyia .

It is no more news that President Olusagun Obasanjo backed Third Force Political group has officially unveiled .

What is disturbing is the end result of this coalition . In theory , the coalition is determined to replace or vote Buhari out of Office , but in practice , their strategy may be helping Buhari reelection .

You may also recall that President Olusegun Obasanjo had earlier wrote President Buhari asking him not to run for second tenure in 2019 . According to Obasanjo , Buhari has failed and should go and rest .

Considering the followings ;

*(1)Now , taking note of the time between February 2018 to 2019 Presidential election , any political follower of Nigeria or even African Politics will agree that one year is not enough time to mobilize for removing of an incumbent !

*(2) Third Force will end up reducing the opposition forces which will give the President Buhari led incumbent APC Federal Govt the winning margin ! This take me to the question : is third force not working for President Buhari reelection ?

*(3) What the third force should do if they are actually interested in   Buhari in 2019 , is not to announce their own Political Party for 2019 presidential election taking note of timing !

*(4) Third Force will not even come second in 2019 Presidential election without serious Political Marriage with other existing Opposition Political Parties !

*(5) It amount to distraction for all those that are working to replace President Buhari in 2019 for we to be talking about Obasanjo led Third Force Coalition !

*(6) I therefore , call on all the agents of Third Force led by President Obasanjo to be more flexible by dancing towards the wishes of the average Nigerians towards replacing President Buhari in 2019 election ! Insisting on Solo Political road by Third Force amount to working for the return of President Buhari by the Third Force !

*(7) Third Force has only two options :

*(i ) Mobilize their support towards PDP which is the closest Political Party in removing Buhari . Submit their position with PDP towards interests harmonization .

*(ii) Third Force can also mobilize all the existing Opposition Political Parties towards adopting and supporting one political Party .

Anything short of the above lines , will amount to Obasanjo led Third Force working for the returning of President Buhari in 2019 !

Go Get Your PVC !!!
