A Nigerian Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and the founder of NN19, Dr. Chima Anyaso caused quite commotion yesterday in Abia state as all the woman and youths of Bende followed him to the party office to submit his nomination form. Anyaso unlike other aspirants that have purchased and submitted their nomination forms gave a big cow to the party leadership.
Signing of Anyaso’s Nomination Form
Addressing his supporters who were singing a song of solidarity and jubilating in front of the party office after submitting his nomination form, Anyaso said he is not aspiring to go to the National Assembly because of selfish interest or gain but because he wants to answer God’s call to serve his people and revealed that those whom he will describe as ‘grandfathers in the race’ will be retired come 2019.
In his words ;
“I am not in this race for my own selfish interest or gain, but instead I am in it as an answer to God’s call and the yearning of my people for a good leader. Some people have boasted that their assurance is from Abuja but my own assurance is from heaven and that heaven has never failed me and will not now.”
“And to our grandfathers in the race, they should remember that they told us over 30 years ago that we are the leaders of tomorrow and they trained us well to take over from them when they are too old to continue the good works they have done as former ‘this and that”.
“So we have come, not to retire them, but to take care of them as our fathers that they are. So, they should relax and pray for us because that is their responsibility now, not to be in the same contest with us.”
“I want to assure our party that as the youngest aspirant in the party, that Nigerian youths will be happy with the PDP because of me and other young people and that is why I will use my office as the convener of the New Nigeria 2019 Movement (NN19) and the vice Chairman South of the Nigerian young professional’s forum to ensure that PDP wins all the states in Nigeria including at the National level, come 2019.”
Speaking to newsmen after addressing the large crowd, Anyaso thanked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and Senator T. A Orji for the good works they are doing in the state and revealed that Abians will reciprocate the kind gesture by voting for them.
“I want to thank our able Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu for providing a level playing ground and for carrying the youths along. I want to assure him that Abians will return him to office in 2019.”
“I want to appreciate the immediate past governor of the state and a current senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency Senator T.A. Orji, who I always describe as an honorable man who keeps to his words and promises. I want to assure him that we will vote for him because he promised me that he will retire after his second term which signifies good leadership and not greed like others who want to go 100 terms and not give opportunity to others to grow”.
“Let me equally thank the leaders of the State National Assembly , especially Engr. Chinedu Orji (Ikuku Abia) for his exemplary leadership and for making sure that Abia youths are part of this present government.”
“I want to assure Ndi Bende of my commitment to serve them at the National Assembly come 2019. I will always be accessible and not like other people that go and come back after four years to buy their votes and disappear again. My words of encouragement to them is that they should not to be afraid of rigging or intimidation as God who has called me has also provided me with all the resources and contacts needed to finish victoriously. The Bible says, “When the righteous is on the throne the people will rejoice”, so my people will definitely rejoice when I win come 2019.”
Finally, Anyaso promised to take care of the party office and give it a new look as part of his commitment to the party .
