The group named The National Movement (TNM) was officially introduced to the public today at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers in Abuja’s Ladi Kwali Hall on Tuesday.
The group said it was set to battle for the soul of Nigeria from the hands of APC and the Peoples Democratic Party.

“For too long, Nigerians have been waiting for this day. For too long friends of Nigerians abroad have been waiting for this day and the time is today and now.
