Chairman and leader of NCFront, Pat Utomi, has urged Nigerians to support a third force that would usher in a new crop of leaders to end the litany of failed leadership in Nigeria. 

Mr Utomi was speaking on Friday at a virtual conference of Concerned Professionals and members of the New Fabian Society.

The political economist said a mindset shift has become necessary to fulfil the popular aspiration of Nigerians and facilitate a new order of good governance.

He, therefore, presented to Nigerians an alternative solution to the current political quagmire which he described as a third force government that would focus on the people and not the need and greed of politicians.

Mr Utomi, who assured professionals that the alliance of NCFront with the Labour Party and several others were bearing fruit, said he had equally opened discussions with APGA before recent Supreme Court judgments which may be affecting the party.

The social crusader said that the new Nigeria which beckons from 2023, will profit from lessons drawn from the errors of the two dominant political parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the last 20 years.
