PPN MAKES CRUCIAL MOVES FOR AL-MUSTAPHA IN SOUTHWEST

BY ABIODUN NEJO

The Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) has begun strategising to sway votes of the South West region in the direction of its presidential candidate for the 2019 election, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha.

PPN National Chairman, Hon Razak Eyiowuawi, said the party’s strategic meetings targeted at drumming support for Al-Mustapha’s candidacy and showcasing his ideals which took off in the South West would be taken round the remaining five geo-political zones.

Eyiowuawi, who spoke at Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, shortly after the Southwest PPN Stakeholders Meeting at the weekend, said the party was leaving no stone unturned in shoring up it’s membership and support base ahead of the elections.

At the meeting attended by  PPN leaders across the Southwest states and leadership of Green Party of Nigeria (GPN) and Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM) in the zone, Eyiowuawi said huge success in the area of harmonisation and working together sealessly for Al-Mustapha’s success at the poll was achieved.

According to him, PPN elected the former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State General Sani Abacha as the party’s presidential flagbearer in view of his vision and mission for the country’s revival, adding: “Nigerians will be better for it if they can allow the visions to materialise by voting for him”.

Eyiowuawi, who expressed delight at the love and support being shown to the party’s flagbearer, disclosed that “PPN is planning a programme whereby Al-Mustapha will dialogue one on one with Nigerians. People of all classes will have the opportunity to relate directly with him and he will unveil his agenda, vision and mission and how he hopes to put the country back on track.

“We are convinced that Nigeria needs a leader who has the knowledge and experience of the economy and as well security. These we have in Al-Mustapha.

“He has very good experience as regards economy and that of the nation. Till today, it was under Abacha, that Nigeria had the most stable economy, and he was a key player then. One major problem of the nation is plundering and waste of resources which Al-Mustapha has vowed to prevent.

“He is a security strategist: that is what Nigeria needs now to combat the various security challenges facing it,” Eyiowuawi said.

Among PPN chairmen in the zone at the meeting are Hons Ismail Ajewumi (Southwest), Raji Olalekan (Oyo), Dare Adekolu (Ekiti), Akintunde Adesoji (Osun), Bola Oyedele (Ogun), Adegboyega Adeniji (Lagos) and Aforolagba Hassan (Ondo).
