The National Chairman of the newly registered Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), Dr. Jay Osi-Samuels, has vowed that the party would bring an end to Boko Haram insurgency, herdsmen killing, kidnapping and other inhumane vices if the party assumes power in 2019.

Osi Samuel, who disclosed this while speaking with journalists at the official opening of the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja, on Tuesday, also stated that ANN consists of professionals who can use their ‘number six’ to do things the right way and improve on governance in the interest of Nigerians.

According to him, “Government is about applying your number six. The type of leaders we have now are only working for their selfish interest. All they are serving is me, myself, that’s all.

“We are coming with a difference in 2019. We have brought to you, a path to a new Nigeria. Let us together say bye bye to mediocrity in governance. Transparency, accountability, productivity and enabling environment are what we want to create for everybody to thrive.”

While saying further that Nigerians don’t need anybody to thrive, he stated: “We will provide everything possible and provide jobs for our youths because we know they are not lazy. We are one in this party.”

“This party will ensure things are done differently from what it used to be by providing enabling environment to prosper. We will not call Nigerian youths lazy.

“We have passion to make Nigeria great. We are not going to recycle leaders. We are a party that is owned by Nigerians irrespective of their lineage, ethnic or religious.

“We have a unique selling point for Nigerians. We are professionals. This party is owned by an ordinary Nigerians because every member owns the party. Seventy percent of our members are learned, elites and experienced in their political spheres. We have come to do things differently. We are promising that it’s not going to be the same,” he added.

When asked if the party will go into alliance with other political parties, he emphatically said “No,” saying that the party is open to working with like minds who are already approaching it to work together.

Another senior member of the party, Makanju Ogundipe, he opined that ANN is different among all the parties in Nigeria, saying: “Here, we are and sure that it will win the next presidential election. Today, you have abandoned them. You are now in the right place. The man leading us is the one that fears God.”

He tasked members to go back to their different units and collect their Permanent Voters' Cards PVC, saying: “We don’t have much time to waste in Abuja as you need to back home and secure members for this party.”

Continuing, he said: “Everyone must carry their voter’s card because this is what we need to send out Buhari from Aso Villa. ANN is the end of Boko Haram, hunger, kidnappers.”
