Renowned political economist and former presidential candidate, Professor Pat Utomi, has announced plans for the formation of a new mega-political party aimed at unseating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Utomi, who criticized the current political landscape for its failure to deliver effective governance, emphasized the need for a drastic change.

The proposed party will merge two distinct groups: the ‘mea culpa’ cohort, consisting of former politicians acknowledging past failures, and the ‘new value’ cohort, comprising forward-thinking individuals from various political backgrounds.

Utomi highlighted the importance of promoting value-driven citizenship, integrity, and respect for the dignity of people.

“The nature and the structure of our politics is such that even good people, when they enter these existing political parties, will play to their interests,” Utomi explained.
