Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano State, has pioneered a new political movement, The National Movement (TNM), which will be launched today.
The launching of the political movement would be held at the Ladi Kwali Hall of the Sheraton Hotel and Towers, Abuja.
The development was disclosed by a former spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, Rufia Ahmed Alkali, who happens to be the National Secretary of movement.
Alkali in a letter of invitation to the launching of the movement said it would be historic.
He said, “During the launch, the TNM will be formally presented to the general public and the convener of the movement will outline its aims and objectives and its principal purpose as well as inviting all patriotic Nigerians at home and abroad to join the TNM in the overall interest of saving our country and redirecting her onto the path of safety and security, peace and prosperity, equity and opportunity, in addition to qualitative and competent leadership that will engender rapid and sustainable development as well as being fair and just to all.”
Although some prominent Nigerians and politicians have not announced their membership of the movement, there are speculations that the likes of Pat Utomi and the immediate past Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega are in line with the development.
