Ahead of the 2023 elections, former President Olusegun Obasanjo is considering the formation of a new political party in order to shelter disgruntled members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Reports indicate that the former president is looking to take advantage of the in-fighting in the two major parties regarding his goal.

A source told Vanguard Newspapers that Obasanjo is very active in the background despite public claims of resignation from political activities.

The source also noted that Obasanjo is hoping to harvest many key members of the two major political parties into his new party as a result of the forthcoming preparations for 2023.

Obasanjo was also reported to have scheduled a strategic meeting with his loyalists and associates to assess the progress made by the new group for Tuesday, July 13.
