The presidential candidate of People’s Trust (PT), Mr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has urged Nigerians to support his candidacy for rapid economic development that would lift the masses out of abject poverty.
Olawepo-Hashim, however, noted that 70 percent of Nigerians voters are yet to decide who to vote for among the presidential candidates less than 11 days to the 2019 election.
He, also, said he had no plan to step down for either the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari or Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and expressed the confidence that the two candidates are beatable with their parties’ woeful performances since 1999.
The presidential hopeful, who spoke during a campaign rally in Akure, the Ondo state capital, advised the electorate to reject the two political parties which he said had failed them and the country, in the last 20 years.
Olawepo-Hashim, who was accompanied by his Campaign Director-General and former transport minister, Mr Habu Fari, said the country is too endowed with natural resources for the citizenry to be wallowing in poverty, and vowed to introduce policies that would end insecurity and economic hardship, if elected as president of the country, on February 16. He advised eligible voters to secure their future by voting for People’s Trust party in this year’s election.
He assured Nigerians, especially youths and graduates, that he will create jobs and make the environment conducive for businesses to flourish. The presidential candidate of PT said his party is fine-tuning its strategy in all states of the federation, on how to wrestle power from the ruling APC, adding that PT had the highest number of representation in constituency nominations.
