The Promoter and Chief Convener of
the Alternative, a pan Nigerian Movement, Otunba Segun Showunmi, on Thursday, declared that the movement set out to tackle the issues of voters apathy, votes buying, and ethnic dispute in Nigeria.
While speaking at the Southwest Town hall meeting of the Alternative in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Showunmi said the platform was created to deepen Nigerian democracy.
Showunmi, a former PDP Governorship Aspirant in the state in the last election, slammed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and coalition leaders saying that they have nothing to offer.
The PDP chieftain, emphasised the need to present credible and qualified aspirant as the country's leader, described the platform as a coalition of commotion, confusion, corruption and mismanagement.
“It's the right of politicians to do whatever they want to do but it's the duty of citizens to look at them and say, you have done this kind of trick one time too many.
"That party, the ADC, has been in existence for sometimes. Some of our people have been there and they even have contested issue around their Chairmanship.
"Yet, today, you have left your own party and you have rushed in there. If you go there quietly like decent people so that you don't carry the same character you had in your party to destroy your party into a new forum, people would have respected you.
"But what are you doing? You're huffing and puffing as if the party does not have members before. Who will follow such people?
"So, when people ask me what I have to say about the coalition or whatever they call it? I will just say, the merry-go-round of the musical chair they have been doing since 1992 did not work for them and will not work now," he said.
The PDP Chieftain said Nigerians have up to next year to decide if they'll re-elect President Bola Tinubu or not.
He, however, ruled out the leaders in the coalition, saying it will be a waste of time if Nigerians entrust them with power.
"In the meantime, we may not know who can to be fit in, but we know these ones can not do anything. It will be a waste of everybody's time even if they try it," he said.
