The Alliance for New Nigeria, ANN, has said the statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on President Buhari is a welcome development.
The party said Nigerians would have still left their trusts in the hands of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2019, if not for the Tuesday’s intervention of Obasanjo.
ANN noted that the two leading political parties would lead Nigeria to nowhere.
According to the newly registered political party, Obasabjo’s statement was a true reflection of the state of the polity.
Obasanjo had on Tuesday advised President Buhari not to bother himself seeking re-election, citing several reasons.
The interim National Chairman of the party, Dr. Jay Samuels in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, said “in our analysis of the political space, it became obvious that if things had continued without the emergence of a party like ANN and now the ex-president’s letter, Nigeria would have been in dire straits in 2019 as the two currently dominant parties, APC and PDP have all but lost direction.
“This is an opportunity for all Nigerians irrespective of religion or tribe to be politically involved and play their role in the enthronement of good governance that is responsive to the yearnings and aspirations of the average Nigerian.”
