Others include Kate Okpareke, Ayo Abifarin, Zamani Lekwot, James Ogebe, Moses Ihonde, Dokun Thompson, Nat Okoro, Solomon Asemota, Matthew Owojaiye, P. L. Dabup, John W. Bagu, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Priscilla Kuye, Deborah Ajakaiye, and Taiwo Idemudia.
“In view of the need to ensure that democracy survives in Nigeria and the culture of corruption, incompetency, lawlessness, and impunity, which assailed the country in the past 24 years is eradicated, NCEF encourages Nigerians to think new,” the statement explained.
