The National Consultative Front (NCFront) led by former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na'aba, says it is ready with

an intervention very much expected to stem the tide of tribal and religious conflicts as well as growing insecurity, anarchy and tension currently going on in the country.

The Front made this known today (Saturday) in a statement made available to News Express.

According to the political movement, refusal of successive governments to implement resolutions of past Constitutional Conferences is the albatross of Nigeria's democracy.

"Governance without constitutional consensus is a road to anarchy for Nigeria," said NCFront in the statement signed by its

Media Assistant,

Public Affairs Bureau,

Mallam Yusuf Abdullahi.

"The National Consultative Front has condemned successive governments and political rulers of Nigeria for their conspiracy against the constitutional aspirations of Nigerian citizens for a just, united and stable country.

"The Front initiates to save Nigeria's floundering democracy and frowned at the misplaced preference of the ruling powers for continuous circle of elections into political offices instead of first forging political concensus for the country," said the statement.

"Consequently, as concerned stakeholders of project Nigeria, we have elected to initiate the process of building a major political alliance and coalition of prominent political stakeholders across political affiliations and party divide beginning from Tuesday, 27th July, 2021 to rescue and save Nigeria from failed political rulers and worthless elections circles that have been seriously dotted by apathy and electoral malpractices," the statement added.

Also reacting to the worrisome state of the country and low turnout of voters during the during the Local Government elections in Lagos and Ogun States today, the National Scribe of the NCFront, Sir Olawale Okunniyi, lamented that continuous circle of elections in the country without popular constitutional consensus of the diverse peoples of Nigeria, which is vital for Nigeria's progress and prosperity, is a clear exercise in futility and a time bomb for the corporate existence of Nigeria that must be urgently detonated by Nigerians before it's too late

Okunniyi, said it is for that reason that Leaders of Conscience under the auspices of the NCFront have set up a 60 Member Constitutional Dialogue Advisory Committee, being led by Olisa Agbakoba SAN, Dr Usman Bugaje, Dr Tokunbo Awolowo Dosunmu, Chief Mike Ozekhome and Dr Hakeem Baba Ahmed, who heads the Conference Secretariat, to facilitate a pan Nigerian political dialogue and negotiations to birth an agreed people's constitution for Nigeria through the process of constituents' assembly and referendum.

Okunniyi, a prominent advocate of popular democracy and sovereign powers of the citizens again took a swipe at successive governments for lip service and cosmetic step toward national reconciliation and unity.

He stressed that national dialogue and consultations in Nigeria have largely been used by successive regimes as jobs for the boys to settle political supporters and proteges instead of using them to explore genuine national integration and cohesion for the peace and unity of the diverse peoples of Nigeria

He hinted that NCFront has however decided to rally all well meaning Nigerians and political gladiators across political divide and party lines to put a stop to the dangerous circle of "elections to perdition foisted by a powerful cartel of the Nigerian political class, who have taken liberty to run rough shod on the peoples of Nigeria having taken away the sovereign power of Nigerians over the country and the constitution and handed it over to their agents and proteges in the National Assembly through section 8 and 9 of the 1999 military imposed constitution".
