Former
Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the Action Congress of
Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has begun a round of consultations with
members of the opposition, civil society and pro-democracy groups and
individuals in the country.
A source close to the ex-governor who was said to
have returned to the country this week, said in Lagos on Thursday that
he had also begun preliminary talks with the leadership of the party to
appraise the state of the nation.
According to the source, Tinubu will in the next two
weeks hold different levels of meetings with his party caucus members,
leaders of other prominent political parties, human rights community and
labour.
“This broad consultation is aimed at helping him
appraise himself fully the developments that took place while he was
away, afford him an opportunity to thank and solidarise with political
and civil society leaders that took part in the protest against subsidy
removal,” a source close to the party said.
Tinubu had, earlier in a piece published two weeks
ago in national dailies, during the nationwide protest against fuel
subsidy removal, flayed the Goodluck Jonathan administration for
breaking his social contract with the people by the abrupt removal of
subsidy on fuel.
