Olawepo urges electorate to vote out corrupt politician
A presidential aspirant under the platform of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has charged the electorate to vote out political parties and corrupt leaders who have failed in delivering on their campaign promises.
Insisting that Nigerian should take back their country by taking advantage of the 2019 general elections, he said the electorate should beware of corrupt politicians who are now regrouping to buy their conscience.
Speaking yesterday in Lagos, he said there was the need for Nigerians to avoid politicians who do not have the interest of the country at heart, but are only interested in amassing public wealth through corruption to buy votes for their re-election.
According to him, although the All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed, members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who were defeated in 2015, could not present themselves as credible alternatives soon after.
He, therefore, urged Nigerians to de-market corrupt politicians and vote buyers by voting them out, noting: “The only reason why Nigerians vote for APC or PDP is gratification, because they neither have electoral value nor credible registered members, but depend largely on rented crowds.”
lawepo-Hashim stated that ANN was targeting 14 million first time voters, who could not be bought with money or gifts, but are determined to make a difference next year.
