PT will resist subterranean attempts to turn Nigeria into two party state says Olawepo Hashim

The Presidential candidate of thePeoples Trust (PT), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has said that his party will resist the attempts by some dominant political forces to turn Nigeria into a two party state.

 The Peoples Trust candidate, in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Hassan Ibrahim, said that the party is aware of some subterranean moves by certain forces to strangulate the emerging political parties and turn Nigeria into a two party state.

The candidate of the Third Force Movement said that any attempt to turn the hand of Nigeria’s democratic progress backwards and curtail the fundamental rights of the people to associate will be resisted squarely.

He said: “There is no democracy in the world where choices are restricted to one or two parties. Even in the United States of America, where you have two dominant parties, there is multiplicity of parties that are  allowed to participate in the process.

“The PT is the biggest of all the new political parties according to data from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and we insist on being allowed to blossom and fulfill the yearnings of the Nigerian people who are certainly fed up with a lack of vision, passion and direction for the development of the country.

“Many of the actors in the political scene today who are outside the two dominant parties fought vigorously to ensure respect for fundamental rights of association of Nigerians.”

He further stated that the forces seeking to return Nigerian to a two party state had perfected their acts through the exclusion of several emerging parties at the just concluded Vice Presidential debates held by the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON).

 He further stated: “2019 will not be a choice between corruption and ineptitude. The PT is determined that despite attempts to make it look like that, the 2019 election will not be a choice between the PDP, which has been variously accused of corruption and the APC, which symbolizes administrative ineptitude and economic failure.

“The vast majority of Nigerians still continue to search for credible alternatives to the two political parties in spite of limited resources at the disposal of the multiple alternative platforms.

“Through massive media propaganda, a gang of Nigeria’s parasitic elite who have fed fat on the Nigerian state have tried to ensure that political clime is narrowed to the two incompetent behemoth- the APC and PDP.

“The PT is at the vanguard of ensuring that the Nigerian electorate gets credible alternative in 2019, as it has instituted the consolidation of various alternative platforms, even as it is daily receiving support from Presidential candidates, aspirants and parties.

“We know as a matter of fact that the corrupt PDP elite and the pseudo democrats of APC are desperate to consign Nigeria into a two party state. Apart from misusing state funds at their disposal to their advantage, they are arrogantly telling the suffering Nigerian people that they are stuck between the two devils.

“By the report of the Carnegie Institute, it has been confirmed that using the resources at the disposal unjustly and to their advantage.
They are also using Media platforms such as the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria to muscle the emerging political structures.

“We are already seeing some propaganda items in some newspapers questioning whether we should even have more than these two parties in the country at all and advocating for a constitutional amendment to legislate the alternative platforms out of existence.
“We want to remind the authors of such anti-democratic thoughts that the right to a pluralistic democracy was won through hard struggle and cannot be taken away by the wishful thinking of some politicians and their ilk in some corrupt media establishments.

Gohashim2019

As Much As I Really Don't Like Any Of The Candidates From Either APC Or PDP. . . I Must Say The Truth, These Other Guys Are Just Wasting Time And Money. . .

Even In The USA Its The Same. . .
It's Either You Are A Democrat Or A Republican. . . Any Other Party You're OYO.

I Love The Guy's Enthusiasm Sha. . .

It doesn't have to be that way. It will not be that way. Nigeria will make the difference

ok

Hashim that nobody knows outside Abuja.

He should reconcile with Fela and join forces with like minds parties. That’s the only way the can have the voice of a third force.

This guy no go win, it is obvious, well sha I love is courage...gohashim

Agbaletu:
Hashim that nobody knows outside Abuja.

We know him here in PH and Lagos, okay?!

The highly commendable noise that pushed "Not too young to run" bill to become a reality seems to have died too quickly.

Unfortunately and predictably, some of the drivers of the bill have aligned with either of the "Not too old to run" candidates. Young people should do better in 2023.

For now, let's take Nigeria to the next level.

Agbaletu:
Hashim that nobody knows outside Abuja.

I know him here in Osun


But

I don’t care what you guyz say all I know is that we are not letting PDP in asorock again, they’ve been there before and there was nothing to show for they only took our money


Like for PMB share for ATIKU

buhari's promises was much more enticing than this..... our mumu don do !

TheGreenLand:
Me think, That Two (2) Party system will be in the best interest of the nation Mr Hashim.

Better we have more than 2 parties...because variety is good for our democracy.

Ok, I respect your views to it too.

Whether you like it or not, Nigeria will always be a two party state

K

Even mrrights no go vote hashim. A 5 party system is ok. Most of these other parties are just seeking relevance and money. Zero party structure.

Una no say una non go win just dey waist time when them dey call results that day . Abeg make inec dey call apc and pdp one after the other abeg Africa no dey always get sense

Nigerians need to know more about these smaller political parties, their candidates and their manifesto. It is healthy for democracy.

PT

Part-Time


Lots aint serious

Not at all bro. Two party has become two devils. Our two parties brought us here and you will agree with me that where we are, in which we are rated as poverty capital of the world is not our destiny.

We need to move away from the two party system and that is what the third force stand for.

Agbaletu:

Sorry, people know him all over the federation

Seetto:

Don't be quick to conclude. Hashim is our man for 2019 and you can support a candidate capable of putting the country on the path of prosperity
