Olawepo-Hashim Pulls Out Of ANN Presidential Primaries

Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, a presidential aspirant and key financier of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), has announced his withdrawal from the presidential race, on grounds of breach of party’s constitutional procedure in the build-up to it presidential primaries scheduled for Saturday, September 29.

Olawepo-Hashim, hitherto the favoured aspirant to clinch the party’s presidential candidacy slot, said in a letter addressed to the party chairman that the abnormalities he mentioned to the chairman at their Wednesday meetings have not been corrected, in what he alleges amounts to a disrespect for the constitution of the party.

Dated September 28, the aspirant who has toured a substantial part of the country campaigning for delegates’ support noted, “The list of delegates has not been provided to me as a presidential aspirant on the platform of the ANN.

“This is contrary to the Constitution of the ANN and the Electoral Act. This is such a fundamental flaw as to render any exercise purporting to be presidential primaries to be nugatory.”

Olawepo-Hashim said it is unfortunate that even on the eve of the so-called primaries, guidelines for the primaries, which ought to have been approved by the National Executive Committee (NEC) and issued at least seven days before the elections, are not available.

“The absence of guidelines to guide the conduct of the primaries constitute a grave violation of our party’s Constitution and the Electoral Act.

“The arrangements for the presidential primaries have not been published so that everyone will know. Who are those to conduct the primaries, including accreditation of delegates, screening of aspirants etc. As a presidential aspirant, I am yet to know the arrangements put in place for the conduct of the primaries.

“I regret to inform you that I will not participate in tomorrow’s primaries until the constitution of the party is respected and all the defects are rectified,” the statement read in part.

I did, did you?

At last, this young man has seen a reason to throw in the towel. I admire his courage to declare interest even when he knew Nigerians were not yet ready to reason beyond money and ethnic politics.

When other third world countries are trying to brush up the image of their countries, build their economy by electing young and vibrant youths, Nigeria is still battling ethnicity and political jingoism. Pitiful.

I love his stance. This is what I call dignity. If it has to be done, it should be done properly.

Knew it would happen


Get a cheaper mean

oh shut up please.

I wonder how much you are paid for these threads

[quote author=bilms post=71620583]If ANN lose a credible person like Hashim, the party is dead[/quote

the party was credible before he joined And id he leaves it would still be credible]

I did it seems you didn't understand what Olawepo was trying to do there, he wants to induce the delegates with money. The man is very rich and thinks his money will buy him the ticket but he failed hence he pulling out. All what the OP put up there is just lies

Dignity? Except dignity has another meaning. I am sure u don't know what Olawepo planned to do with the delegates list

The man didn't have d balls to contest against Fela Durotoye. Fela has been on a nationwide tour in d past 5months and even emerged PACT consensus candidate. How does he expect to defeat Fela at a primaries. I suggest he does d honourable thing by participating and accepting whatever d outcome is.
