Obasanjo s undoing was that he played God Lai Muhammed, AC publicity secretary June 15, 2007. ref It maintained a small independent organization after the 2007 elections, while its leaders have merged into the AC. The party was formed by opponents of a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow incumbent President of Nigeria President Olusegun Obasanjo to seek a third term in office, and had its base of support in the south west of Nigeria. The then Vice President of Nigeria Vice President Atiku Abubakar , a northerner who opposed a third term for Obasanjo, was believed to back the new party from its inception.
