Well...good for him...I don't believe out of 140 million Nigerians, it's only Buhari and Atiku we can boast of to lead us in 2019...its a pity to see young Nigerians queue behind these old men who to me have nothing to offer as regards solving national problems and bringing up sustainable policies.

I believe Nigeria deserves more than "Sai Baba" and "Atikulate" that we all keep blabbing about. THOUGH I AM NOT CANVASSING FOR HASHIM OR ANYBODY, I just want us to know that we do not have to vote for only PDP and APC in the coming elections. Can't we just think outside these boxes for once!! In the 19 years that the PDP and APC ruled (not led) what have we achieved as a country? Its obvious these old men don't have what it takes to lead a nation. They are just there for what they would gain. And you still see young folks campaigning for these same set of people. Is it that we forget things easily or we are just being charmed (when election periods approach) or what??..

May the Lord deliver us as a nation!

I agree with you to some extent, but I think you should support Olawepo Hashim to put action to your words. From all indication, he his up to the task and has the required ability to transform this country. Beyond the governance, we have also seen his political capability. He his building consensus and bringing people together. This is a very strong point and if we all support him, something good may happen.

arrestdarrester:
Who is he? I mean this Hashim, who him be?

He his the man with required capacity to bring Nigeria out of poverty by creating a $4trillion economy.

delman88:
Then let him go through the right channel and not cause a fight. Why did he back out from the primaries and come back few days later with a former chairman of the party to do another primaries??

At least know he claims to be the candidate of another collision and not ANN.

He backed out from illegality. You should commend him, not condemn him. We must all learn to stand by the truth at all times.

The party NEC took over, after the former chairman is bent on doing the wrong thing. They brought in the BOT chairman, who is also the former chairman to pilot the affairs of the party with his experience.

They organised the legal primary, which he also participated and emerged as the party's candidate with 593 votes.

So, do not be deceived by those bent on doing the wrong thing. I am sure you are a good person and you love doing the right thing.

Join Hashim in this mission to create a new Nigeria. NigeriaGohBetter

SeriouslySense:
I watched the video, he made some remarkable sense, that even if nigeria is ruled by a saint, Nigeria will still be poor because of the regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles.

I agree with you. This man clearly has understanding of what is needed to be done to fix Nigeria and we all need to support him.

ideykwum:
The man is not the ANN candidate. Period. Frla Durotoye is the presidential candidate of ANN. This man is misrepresenting ANN and is a symptom of everything wrong with Nigeria!!

Who is Fela Durotoye? You mean the boy scout politician?

na na na.

Olawepo Hashim is the man. You will be welcome to the GoHashim2019 campaign team. I am sure you will be accommodated to lead the country to the promise land. So, do not stay behind the scene. Join the main stream.

jaxxy:
Why did he pull out of the legally agreed scheduled primaries to conduct another one.

Its illegal. He pulled out of an illegal primary that doesn't have the approval of NEC. You know, Hashim is a man of integrity, he doesn't get involved in anything illegal.

ANN is the party, Hashim is the candidate.

ATIKU WE KNOW

That was in the past. Hashim is the man for 2019.

hisexcellency34:
Ca this man win his ward not to talk of local government?

Yes, he will not only win his ward, he will lead us to a new Nigeria come 2019

Maxymilliano:
Alliance for People's Trust candidate, not AAN. Stop confusing yourself ...

Oga, are you just waking up?

Poster is one of the hungry boys employed by Hashim to post rubbish all over the internet and he is doing a bad job of it by not being tactical and intelligent

I also believe the moderators have special interest in this cos they keep pushing articles about Hashim on the front page

Who doesn't know that Hashim, a former deputy national publicity secretary and gubernatorial aspirants in kwara state has been sponsored by the old greedy politicians to divide the ranks of the new breeds and mess things up?

Park well. ANN is the party, Hashim is the man. We are leading the way to a new Nigeria. $4trillion economy is the target.

Political parties under the third force have devised a new set of strategies to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019

- As part of their plan, the parties, PT, ADC, and ANN, jointly formed a new umbrella name, Alliance for Peoples Trust (APT)

- The group also elected one legal bigwig, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), as its national chairman

Top political parties on the platform of the third force movement such as Peoples Trust (PT), African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) have jointly formed a formidle pact to contest and possibly take power from President Muhammadu Buhari.

With the new arrangement, the political parties involved have adopted the Alliance for Peoples Trust as their new name. The resolve was taken at a national convention set up by the group in Lagos on Saturday, October 6.

In a statement which contained the agreement, the national secretary of the APT, Mallam Nasser Kura, said that Lady Funke Awolowo stepped down for Olawepo-Hashim, a presidential aspirant. Moreover, a high profile lawyer, who is also a pro-democracy activist, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), was elected as the national chairman and an energy expert and political strategist, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim as a presidential candidate.

Describing himself as a detribalised Nigerian, Olawepo-Hashim said that he was prepared to lead the new ballot driven– Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) revolution of the third force movement in an effort to create a new democratic Nigeria in 2019.

Added to the new arrangement, the party’s logo was changed from a pyramid to a hand of victory sign in green, white and yellow flag.

APT flag was handed over to Olawepo-Hashim to represent the third force in the 2019 polls. The APT's national convention was attended by leaders of other allied political parties and movement, namely Jay Samuels, founding chairman of ANN; Mallam Nasser Kura, National Secretary of APT; Comrade Isa Tijani, deputy national chairman of ANN; Lady Funke Awolowo, who was later elected the treasurer of APT, and Olawale Okunniyi, the director general of Nigeria Intervention Movement (NIM).

Others include Olivia Agbajoh, a second republic federal legislator and senatorial candidate of APT in Delta state and Musibahu Jarfaru from Kano among others. Meanwhile, NAIJ.com reported that ahead of the 2019 presidential election, a new political force, a mega party known as Peoples Trust (PT), had emerged.

According to leadership, the party is led by a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba (SAN). NAIJ.com gathers that former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s Third Force and other political groups and individuals are also joining forces with Agbakoba, to form the mega party

Three Political Parties Merge, Present Olawepo-Hassim As Presidential Candidat

Lagos – Three political parties, Peoples Trust (PT), Alliance of New Nigeria (ANN) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) have merged to consolidate ahead of 2019 general elections.

The union was sealed with what they termed a strategic alliance, transforming into a new party called Alliance for Peoples Trust (APC) at the national convention, which took place at the Airport Hotel, Ikeja.


The exercise was attended by national officers of PT and ANN, and witnessed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). It produced Gbenga Olawepo-Hassim as the new APT presidential candidate.

Olawepo, who has already picked the presidential ticket of ANN, emerged as APT flag bearer after Lady Funke Obafemi Awolowo, the granddaughter of the late nationalist, Obafemi Awolowo, who was the sole presidential aspirant on PT’s platform, announced her withdrawal from the race, urging party delegates from across the states to vote for Olawepo Hassim.

Olawepo-Hashim is Presidential Candidate for NIM, PT, ANN, OTHERS

By Nseobong Okon-Ekong

The National Intervention Movement (NIM), the People’s Trust (PT), and the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) have jointly settled for Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim as their presidential candidate.

The parties had at the Lagos Convention of the PT agreed to jointly back Olawepo-Hashim after a scion of the Awolowo dynasty and PT presidential aspirant, Lady Olufunke Awolowo stepped down for Olawepo-Hashim.

Explaining why the groups adopted Olawepo-Hashim, National Secretary of People’s Trust and Deputy Director General of the National Intervention Movement (NIM), Mallam Nasir Kura said Olawepo-Hashim’s integrity, history of struggle for democracy, a combination of business and political experience put him ahead. “And more importantly for us from the civil society, Olawepo-Hashim is our own man”, the party leader added.


Regarded as a “political general” by some of his colleagues, Kura stressed that Olawepo-Hashim has a good record of political struggle. “He was one of the prominent leaders of the two weeks anti-SAP uprising against the military government in 1989. He has also led an international campaign against the military government from his base in Ghana in May 1989, from where he moved to Europe and Asia”

Besides, “he was guest at the 13th festival of youth and students in Pyongyang, North Korea in 1989, where he accompanied the South Korean student leader Rim Su Young in a solidarity march at the Demilitarized Military Zone between the borders of North and South Korea”

Olawepo-Hashim rejected the asylum offer to stay in Europe. He returned to Nigeria in 1989 to continue the struggle. He was detained under the Detention of Person’s Decree 2 of 1989 under solitary confinement. He was Amnesty International Prisoner of Conscience for Nigeria same year.

A businessman with interest in the energy sector, he was one of the first generation of activists that went into mega business and partisan politics. He was the first elected deputy national publicity secretary of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 1999. He resigned from the PDP in 2006 citing ideological disagreements.


Olawepo-Hashim is seen as a bridge builder and as a complete Nigerian that will help in building consensus at a time of great division. Born of a Yoruba mother and a Hausa father from Kebbi State, he is a Christian, raised in Niger and Kwara States. Olawepo-Hashim, 49, is seen as bridge between the older and the younger generation in Nigeria

And following the steps of veteran politician Alhaji Eyitayo Dan Musa who had earlier stepped down for Mr. Olawepo-Hashim, Lady Awolowo, shelved her presidential ambition on the PT platform in deference to Olawepo-Hashim.

The weekend horsetrading took place at the Lagos Airport Hotel venue of the PT National Convention, where the party had met to elect its presidential candidate, and where the party resolved to merge with the ANN to become Alliance for People’s Trust (APT) what is seen as a strategic alliance towards victory.

The parties are however to retain their independence until after elections, when the merger will be effectively consummated.

The PT party had converged as part of the Third Force Movement under the theme ‘Birthing a New Democratic Nigeria’ at the event witnessed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In stepping down, Lady Awolowo said she was taking the action after examining the programmes of Olawepo-Hashim and seeing there was no need to duplicate energy having been satisfied that her plans will be actualised through Olawepo-Hashim’s agenda.
“I am therefore saying straightaway that I am specifically stepping down for Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim so that we can work as a team to ensure that we become victorious in next year’s general election,” Lady Awolowo said.

She promised to work with the new alliance to satisfy the yearnings and aspirations of the people and in accordance with the famous passion of her progenitors. “We will never ever take the people for granted and it is time we join hands together, redouble our efforts and improve their lots”

In his response, Mr. Olawepo-Hashim thanked Awolowo for her gesture, support and love for the people noting that it is all “typical of what her famous parentage stood for.”

The presidential candidate also praised the good efforts of Mr. Agbakoba for his long years of pro-democracy activism, his love for nationhood and his continued determination to see to the development of the nation, just as he thanked ANN Chairman, Mr. Jay Osi-Samuels for his steadfastness.

Olawepo-Hashim continued: “The consolidation of the alliance with People’s Trust (PT) is a great one and it shows how well-meaning we all are as a political party”. He added that is an anomaly for people who did not know how this democracy came about to be reaping from it, while those who toiled and suffered for it are left in the lurch.

“They do not know where we are coming from as a people, I mean the years of struggle, years of arrests, detentions without trials and harassments. They do not know! Many of our comrades have died in the struggle”.

The presidential candidate stressed that: “I can name them: Olaitan Oyerinde, Emmanuel Ezeazu, Chima Ubani and many others. We have a duty to ensure that these ones do not die in vain. We must return Nigeria to progress. We must bring back a progressive Nigeria”

Also a notable prodemocracy activist in the years of military rule, he promised the party faithfuls “we will work together and ensure Nigeria work.

Our government is not going to be about ethnicity, or religion, but about jobs, progress, prosperity, freedom and happiness for our people. I promise to be a president who will defend all. I promise to be a true Nigeria president”

The new alliance, which is said to begin about a dozen more expected endorsement by other political parties for Olawepo-Hashim also signposts a deft move to steer away from the lingering crisis of confidence in the smaller ANN.

Olawepo-Hashim, who is believed to be amongst the most determined of the relatively young presidential aspirants preparing for the 2019 elections, had earlier been shortlisted as one of the four competent hopefuls amongst over fourteen aspirants that were screened for the position by the Middle-Belt elder’s forum.

The former activist described his widening endorsement as a sign of good things to come, stressing that: “our spirit is unstoppable and I am determined to go all the length to propel this country to a new greatness, where the average citizen will be happy, free and prosperous”

Olawepo-Hashim has been adjudged as one purposeful candidate that is strong enough to deal with the multiple threats the nation’s democracy is presently facing. “I take this confidence in me as a call to duty to make our democracy prosper”, he said with a sense of elation, adding “and I am gratified by it and will do everything possible not to disappoint the endorsing groups”

In addition, “his growing up experiences in the Middle Belt makes him sellable as a bridge builder that will give comfort to everyone, whether from the North or the South, in what will also foster national unity, cohesion and peace,” Barrister Femi Williams, a prominent Lagos politician noted at the event.
