Fela
Durotoye, a motivational speaker, has picked the nomination form of the
Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) to contest for the position of Nigerian
president in the 2019 general election.
Mr Durotoye announced this on
Tuesday while thanking his supporters for donating money for him to obtain the
ANN form on Twitter.
“Many people had said expecting
people to be committed enough to own this campaign was unrealistic as Nigerians
don’t donate to politicians or politics…with your prayers and continued
support, we’ll have some more good news to share.
“A few minutes ago, after
satisfying all requirements, I received the nomination form of our party
@ANNigOfficial to officially express my interest to serve our nation in the
capacity of the President,” his tweets read.
Mr
Durotoye had earlier enjoined the public to donate towards the purchase of the
N3.5 million nomination form in order for him to be able to contest in the
presidential primary for ANN.
He was one of the 18 young
presidential aspirants who formed Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT)
coalition in July 2018 and resolved to support one consensus candidate to
contest against President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election.
The emergence of Mr Durotoye last month
led to the exit of some members from the alliance.
A former deputy governor of
Central Bank of Nigeria, Kingsley Moghalu, expressed displeasure over the
electoral process while the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore
denied being part of the coalition.
