The Chairman
Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN)

Dear Sir

My attention has been brought 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 insinuates the following:

1. 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 is important that I respond to these false & misleading allegations.

For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to inform you 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, especially the All Progressive Congress (APC)

2. “This Presidential Aspirant pretending to be campaigning for the Office of President launched a series of attacks on the party in the build up to her congresses and National Convention”

As you are aware, there were several concerns that myself, Dr. Thomas Wilson Ikubese & Dr. (Mrs) Elishama Ideh had about the direction our party was going as we didn’t feel the principles of fair play and true democracy that had drawn us to ANN were being upheld.

We had communicated our concerns via email to the Interim Chairman, Dr. Jay Samuels and copied the Board of Trustees and we decided at the time, not to attend the previous National Convention scheduled for the 11th of August, 2018.

Please let it be known for the record that I never at any time, used a public statement to “attack the party”

3. “This is in order to foist a prematurely organized Presidential Primary election on the party with the intent of producing a desired outcome by the ruling APC”

As a non Executive member of the Alliance for New Nigeria, I am not privy to deliberations of the National Working Committee or Board of Trustees, therefore, I can not be responsible for decisions the party makes towards scheduling conventions or primary elections.

4. “This so called Presidential Aspirant also circulated disparaging remarks aimed at impugning the credibility of our principal in social media...”

Such statements are contrary to my personal values, one of which is to “care and show respect through my words and actions”.

I have consistently run a unifying campaign that promotes values of respect & decency, without any direct or indirect attack on any candidate and have maintained a cordial relationship with Mr. Olawepo - Hashim.

I presume that our party is committed to principles of Transparency, Integrity & Excellence (TIE) in the quest for free and fair primaries.

I would appreciate if you could kindly look into and address these issues.

My continued best wishes are to Mr. Olawepo- Hashim and my commitment remains to the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN).

God bless you.
God bless the Alliance for New Nigeria and may God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Fela Durotoye

I have nothing against Fela Durotoye, but in this response, he did not deny collecting money from Osinbajo. At least, I can not see any statement where he says the claim is false.

Go back and read it slowly again. Some things are just sickening. Your parents spent their hard earned money on you to be educated, so please put it to use

I have read it twice already. I may be having comprehension problems today. Please can you highlight where he said he did not collect money from Osinbajo.

maybe you should read it again oooo... you did not see the part of false and misleading allegation...

Fela did not deny collecting 750m.

Fela did you collect 750m or not?

Make we dance one corner for Church

Liar

He should have refuted it exactly the way Apc said they gave him 750m.

As far as this particular letter is concerned, he is not denying collecting money

I know Fela Durotoye will not be involved in receiving inducements. He might have known Osinbajo from his network, but to receive bribes will seriously damage his credibility.

I also do not think Osinbajo would have attempted to induce him. I mean, what's the essence, it's not like ANN is a threat to APC/PDP realistically. Also, even if true, how would FD tell his supporters to vote for APC without tarnishing his image?

My submission

Lol!

Just look at these fools who cant even win a pooling unit.

We be seeing votes like ANN 14 , APC 2,300,789




Please read my signature, thanks

But there is no categorically denial of collecting the funds. He didnot expressly state that the N750m he purportedly got was false. He explained other things that were false but excluded the money matter so what are you saying?

You are a liar... Durotaye. .. you APC thug! You are the mole in the party. There can be smoke without fire..

B

that's my man

Nothing concern me.. PVC is now useless in Nigeria




GIVE YOUR SKIN A TREAT, CHECK MY SIGNATURE.

Believe Nigerian bloggers and journalist at your own risk

Still haven't denied d allegations

Hmm

Udom again

Which credibility?

We are talking about 750m
.not 750k

Many will fall for it bro

My concern is not about who received what but APC again dishing out our hard earned taxpayers commonwealth. APC is now worse than PDP in this quest for power.
