The leadership of the Alliance
for New Nigeria (ANN) and Young Progressives Party (YPP), on Friday, merged to
form a new coalition known as ‘The Force’.
This was confirmed in a statement
signed by ANN’s National Chairman, Emmanuel Dania and his YPP counterpart,
Comrade Bishop Amakiri.
According to both parties, ‘The
Force’ is to help salvage Nigeria from those they said have held it hostage for
far too long.
The statement reads in full:
JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED
BY THE LEADERSHIP OF THE ALLIANCE FOR NEW NIGERIA (ANN) AND YOUNG PROGRESSIVES
PARTY (YPP) ON THE EMERGENCE OF A COALITION FORCE IN PREPARATION FOR THE 2019
GENERAL ELECTIONS AT THE ANN NATIONAL SECRETARIAT, #20, DURBAN STREET, WUSE 2,
ABUJA ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2019.
Protocols!
The political landscape of
Nigeria is beginning to get the much desired clarity with few weeks to the
general elections thereby giving all patriotic stakeholders the opportunity to
take informed decisions that will herald a political direction different from
the status quo.
Nigeria is in dire need of a
paradigm shift and this cannot happen by wishful thinking but through conscious
efforts by selfless Nigerians to disrupt the system in order to end the
combined 19 years of inept leadership of the PDP and APC, which no doubt has
kept us in this present socio-economic and political shackles with no solution
in sight anytime soon.
Only those benefiting from the
current dysfunctional system will be satisfied with the state of our nation as
virtually all economic indices seem to be on a downward spiral with high rate
of inflation, unemployment, poverty, insecurity are the resultant effects on
the psyche and living standards of Nigerians.
It is in a bid to end the
aforementioned trend and change the current narrative that the joint leadership
of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) and Young Progressives Party (YPP) after
painstaking deliberation, decided in the interest of the nation to forge a
formidable coalition known as “the Force” in order to help salvage our great
country from those who have held it hostage for far too long.
The Force is expected to be a
political point of convergence for all those who truly desire to take back
Nigeria from the establishment and birth A NEW NIGERIA.
While we understand the enormity
of the task ahead considering that our failed leaders will not let go without a
fight, our conviction is however anchored on the strength of the over 88
million Nigerians living below the poverty mark of $1.90 per day to decide the
fate of our oppressors through their votes.
Furthermore, the Force will in
the coming days present a consensus candidate in the February 16, 2019
Presidential election as a mark of our collective resolve to give Nigerians a
credible alternative away from the past when Nigerians are faced with the
dilemma of choosing between two undesirables.
We also want to bring to the
attention of Nigerians the ongoing engagement with other ideological driven
Political Parties that are neither with the APC nor PDP with the aim of further
consolidating on the gains already made.
Conclusively, while some may want
to query the timing of our action, our response is simple; “it is not too late
to save Nigeria and there is no better time to save her than NOW”.
Signed: Emmanuel Dania Comrade
Bishop Amakiri National Chairman, ANN National Chairman, YPP
