The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has disclosed plans with hopes of presenting a south east presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
NNPP which is the political arm of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) called on Nigerians in the forthcoming polls to effect a change by electing credible leaders , stating that Nigeria has what it takes to be a great country
Chairman of the party ,Dr. Boniface Aniebonam made the disclosure at the 7th Anniversary of Searchlight Media Concept Lectures and Awards ceremony held in Lagos on Thursday.
Aniebonam who is the founder of NAGAFF was represented at the event by the National Secretary General of the association, Mr. Oladipo Olayoku.
According to him, one of the challenges of the forthcoming elections would be the issue of power rotation to the south, saying NNPP will be presenting a presidential candidate from the south east .
“The major challenge to the 2023 election,is the issue of power shift , otherwise known as power rotation to the south . For a very long time, the issue of power rotation has always been a very sensitive one at elections , always threatening to tear the country apart.
“Already, it is dominating discussions with threats here and there . It is hoped that leaders will show wisdom in the spirit of fair play ,equity and justice.
“Interestingly, when that hurdle is scaled , getting power to shift to the south,the battle will then shift to which part of the south.
“It is already visible,every part of the south is slugging it out , justifying why it should be its turn. However, charity begins at home. It is my hope that NNPP shall be presenting a presidential candidate from the south east in 2023.”
While highlighting some of the possible hiccups ahead of the polls, he reiterated that restructuring , insecurity and pervasive poverty in the land would threaten the elections
Aniebonam , in his paper presentation tagged “2023 Elections: Challenges and Prospects of Building a new Nigeria, stressed that despite the above aforementioned challenges ,the future is still bright for Nigeria, if those challenges are addressed squarely.
“For us as a country to chart a new Nigeria in 2023,we all must resolve to chart a different course .we must break away from the tradition of following the same set of politicians who may mismanaged the country for decades .
“Now is the time to give chance to a new generation of politicians. This is where I offer all of us the choice of the new Nigeria people party (NNPP) as we March toward 2023. Nigeria has all it takes to be a great country. It’s just that New Nigeria we all desire. In our little corners, let us do our bits. So,a new Nigeria begin with me.
As we look towards the 2023 election, let us rededicate ourselves to the service of our dear country, to be the change agent . Let us elect credible leaders.
