In a post on his Twitter handle @oagbakoba sighted by TheNigeriaLawyer (TNL), the learned silk said he was not consulted:
“My attention has been drawn to a widely circulated story that I am part of a new political movement known as the National Consultative Front.
“Without prejudice to the need for such a political movement, I want to place it on record that I was not consulted and so I am not part of the National Consultative Front.”
TNL recalls that a group of 30 eminent Nigerians have allegedly formed a new political movement “aimed at driving reforms” in the country.

In a communique issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the group unveiled the name of the new platform as National Consultative Front.
Among the members of the movement were said to be Ghali Na’abba, a former speaker of the house of representatives; Olisa Agbakoba, a prominent lawyer; Femi Falana, human rights lawyer; Obadiah Mailafia, ex-duputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Oby Ezekwesili.
Others are Abubakar Umar, Jibo Ibrahim, Chidi Odinkalu, Shehu Sani, a former senator; Remi Sonaiya, former presidential candidate; Tanko Yinusa, Shettima Yerima and Funke Awolowo.
The group added that its intervention is aimed at providing a credible alternative political class and leadership for Nigeria as a result of the “failures” of past leaders of the country.
