Team New Nigeria (TNN), a splinter group under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has announced plans to register with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a political party.
Disclosing its break away from APC, TNN declared plans to form a new political party in the country to fight economic hardship and bad governance in the country.
TNN National leader, Modibbo Farakwai, who unveiled the plan in Kano, yesterday, lamented that the APC administration of President Bola Tinubu proved unfit to secure the country in the hands of terrorists.
According to Farakwai, TNN has set motion to mobilise millions of Nigerians across the six geopolitical zones to wrest power from APC in 2027 general election.
Although, the leader of the movement worried that despite being a founding member of APC and critical supporters that fought for victory of the party in the last election, members of TNN have completely been neglected in the scheme of things.
“There is widespread and rising poverty and unemployment across the length and breadth of the country. There is a complete and total decline in the quality of social services and an irremediable dilapidation in the country’s socio-economic infrastructure across board.
“There is an unprecedented fall in the nation’s standard of living and an astronomical rise in the standard of dying. In short, today, there is nothing going right, and we have become a nation in which nothing works as it should, that is, if it works at all,” Farakwai lamented.
He noted that TNN understood the critical challenges and solutions to end the protracted predicaments, but wanted Nigerians to look beyond the APC government in 2027.
The movement expressed discontent with the APC-led Federal Government, accusing it of confusion, lack of vision, and mediocrity, lamenting that it had subjected the country to untold hardship. (Adapted from a report by The Guardian)
