Presidential aspirant of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim says the party has become the party to beat in the race for votes in the 2019 general elections.

Olawepo-Hashim, who stated this in Abuja on the heels of the National Convention of his party held in Abuja said that the ANN was poised to lift Nigeria out of its present predicament.

He claimed that the existence of the party and its progress so far were tailored by the hand of God, adding that Nigeria as a country was on the eve of a new dawn.

According to the presidential hopeful, the ANN has demonstrated its ability to usher in a new political era in Nigeria through the outcome of its just-concluded national convention where the former Interim National Chairman stepped down by endorsing the new Chairman.

His words: “If it is the other parties, they will fight and break their head, but our National Chairman stepped down and endorsed his successor. That is the face of a new Nigeria.”

While lauding the erstwhile Interim National Chairman of the party, Dr. Jay Osi Samuels for stepping down for Pastor Emmanuel Dania, Olawepo-Hashim stressed that the ANN would fulfill its promises to the electorate.

“The GDP of Nigeria will grow seven fold. We will stop the killings in the land. We will bring Nigeria together again. The North voted for MKO Abiola and not Tofa in 1993. Benue people voted for Sir Kashim Ibrahim to go to the Northern House of Assembly.

“Enugu people once voted for a Kogi/Ebira person as their Mayor. Today, Nigeria is sharply divided. ANN will bring back the unity,” he added.
