The Action Group (AG) was a Nigerian nationalist[1] political party established in Ibadan on 21 March 1951, by Chief Obafemi Awolowo.[2] The party was founded to serve as the platform for realizing his preliminary objective of mobilizing Western Nigerians to forestall the NCNC control of the Western Region and the subsequent aim of cooperating with other nationalist parties to win independence for Nigeria. It benefited immensely from the relationships developed in the Egbe Omo Oduduwa[3] formed in Awolowo's days in London as a student.[4]
