Fela Durotoye, a public speaker and consultant, has declared his aspiration to become Nigeria’s presient in 2019. The 46-year-old has joined the Alliance for New Nigeria, ANN, to achieve his dream.
The 46-year-old declared his aspiration on Thursday saying it was necessary for him to delve into politics and not just be a mere spectator on the sidelines.
Durotoye said it had become obvious that although the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have strong grassroot structures, they cannot deliver a better Nigeria.
“In line with our Values one of which is to ‘be a role model worthy of emulation’, I had to decide to get involved in the political arena rather than staying on the sidelines and only challenging others to go in,” he said.
“It is my hope that as I step unto the political scene, many more of our brightest and best will arise to heed our nation’s clarion call to contest for elective offices, win the elections, and most importantly collectively deliver good governance to our nation.
“Whilst it is true that these parties may have formidable grassroots structures, I strongly doubt that these old parties with their old ideology (of God-Fatherism also known as Selectocracy, Rulership, Money Politricks etc) would be able to deliver to us a New Nigeria.”
