We don't bliv fake news!!! We stand with FD

feladurotoyeA few days ago, my attention was brought to an article that alleged that “APC deployed 1.3billion Naira to stop Hashim as Fela Durotoye got N750m to split ANN”.
.
.
The article further alleged that conditions for my receiving this money stated that after my campaign would have gained significant momentum, I would step down for the current vice-president. .
My initial reaction was to consider this piece of fake news to be a crass joke & ignore it, knowing fully well that this is absolutely FALSE and there is no iota of truth in it. .
But realizing that we live in a generation where whatever trends on social media can often be mistaken as truth, I felt it would be necessary to be clear on this matter. .
For the avoidance of doubt, I have never been offered nor have I ever received any money from any political party, interest groups or religious bodies. I have also heard rumors that my campaign has also received funds from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), which is also absolutely untrue. .
Our campaign has relied on donations from everyday Nigerians, paid into a single account of The Fela Durotoye Support Initiative. I am NOT a signatory to this account, have never taken nor utilized a kobo for any personal expenses & we have been very transparent and faithful in the use of those resources that have been donated by the sacrifice of hundreds of people who believe in our mission to birth a New Nigeria.
.
Secondly, may I once again clarify that I have NEVER been a member of any political party prior to joining the Alliance for New Nigeria on the 22nd of February, 2018, nor have I ever supported or been associated with any political party, particularly, the All Progressive Congress (APC).
.
These allegations are driven by the campaign organisation of a former aspirant & member of the party, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo Hashim (former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP) who formally withdrew from the race, on Friday, 28th September 2018, just one day to the Primaries. .
I had earlier been attacked by the Campaign Director General of his organization, claiming I am a pawn for the APC.

In fact, my attention had earlier been drawn to a statement credited to the Gbenga Olawepo - Hashim Presidential campaign organization dated September 28, 2018 and signed by its Director General, Rt. Hon. Terseer Tsumba which stated that a “certain Presidential aspirant is fronting for some powerful interests in the All Progressive Congress (APC) to destabilize the Alliance for New Nigeria”

Being the only other Presidential Aspirant apart from Mr. Hashim on our great party, it was therefore important that I responded to these false & misleading allegations. 
Therefore, on the same day (28th September 2018), I formally wrote to the Chairman of the party (Mr Emmanuel Dania) and copied the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (Dr. Nkata Chuku) addressing these allegations.

I have always maintained a civil and cordial relationship with Mr. Hashim and had twice earlier told him that if he won the party primaries in a free & fair manner, I would respect the wishes of our party delegates and therefore continue to support our party ANN and throw my weight behind his candidacy.

Interestingly, when I asked Mr. Hashim if he would do the same for me & support my candidacy if I won the elections, he simply replied that if he wasn’t assured of a win at the primaries, he will “opt out of the race”.
The truth be told ... I always knew that the political establishment would play dirty, but I have & will consistently uphold my Core Values and run a clean campaign; free of mudslinging & personal attacks. 
In fact, I have been criticized for never attacking individuals or political rivals. 
To be clear, my focus has never been about generating sound bites that trend or making character assassinations. Indeed, I have focused every one of my statements & posts on building a New Nigeria and uniting all Nigerians.

I have consistently shown respect to all other aspirants on this race and have encouraged us all to have better collaboration and NOT bitter competition between aspirants whether we are in the same party or running on different party platforms.

I have always believed that we are all running for a New Nigeria and that is all that matters. My social media platforms will prove this.

So for the record, I have NEVER received any money from any political party and I never will. 
I am not fronting for any candidate or party nor will I ever. 
I intend to run this race and with your help, I intend to win the Presidency of our great nation and to lead the team that will deliver Good Governance required for us all to build a New Nigeria.

As I have done in times past, I ask that before you believe or share fake news, please go online, do some research and ask hard questions. 
The internet never forgets.

Please remember that what TRENDS and what is TRUE are often two different things. 
Trends come and go, but the truth will always outlast trends, no matter how long it takes. So seek the truth as you see the trends.

God bless you and may God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

FELA DUROTOYE 
Presidential Candidate
Alliance for New Nigeria

Oyerinde16:
if u think it fake news like

Fake news everywhere. Paid agents of d PDP mole Hashim posting scam news everywhere

Your lies will turn against you soon. That's clearly party members having dinner after primaries were concluded .

cbrass:
Bilms don't you get tired of these your lies

Hahahahahah... the lies no be here o...

I see lots of paid goons trying to tear ANN apart because of d loss of their principal. We rejected d money and voted Fela. Take your money politricks back to PDP

�

Nigeria will be free soon

Fela Durotoye for President

Fela has bee receiving these scam attacks and fake news against him since he won d PACT.

These attacks are just because of they are scared of d way he's moving with his campaigns by enlightening Nigerians

Hashim be playing d script written by his pay masters

Ever since Fela emerged PACT consensus candidate, they have been after him.

Hashim is a sore looser. U can still find d whole primaries voting process on d Facebook page of d party. Judge for yourself if it was transparent or not.
ANN is a party of technocrats ....

Fela for President

ANN..... the difference

Fela is ready to go

Stop all d lies and propaganda. 80% of ANN members joined d party because of Fela, how did Hashim expect to defeat him? Hashim wanted the delegate list so he could buy votes but he was turned down. We don't do money politics in ANN.
I was at a meeting of ANN a few weeks back where Hashim sent sm1 to give us money just to sway our votes.

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

What else is done with delegates list? Ask them PDP and APC folks.... lol

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.

Hashim just described himself in one writeup. He's d imported money bag from d big political party trying to hijack d ANN with money.

I dey laff

Moles planted by PDP to destabilise ANN

Hashim has brought his PDP mentality to ANN. Fela Durotoye is who we know. Paying a crowd to accompany u to pick a form shows ANN in bad light

My vote is for ANN and Fela Durotoye

Fela Durotoye so far has shown d example of transparency we desire. He has published his campaign expenditure monthly.
I believe he has all it takes to be a good leader.

I support Fela Durotoye for President and would be voting for ANN at all levels in 2019. Enough of PDP and APC

The only candidate we know in ANN is Fela Durotoye. 95% of ANN members joined d party for FD. This Hashim guy is a former PDP member trying to distract ANN

It was business as usual in Enugu today.

Lamido was in d House of Reps in 1979 and wants to run for President in 2019 (40yrs after).
In a country of 180million people, we have more credible candidates than these old folks

We are tired of these same politicians recycling power amongst themselves. I stand with Fela Durotoye
