A Presidential Aspirant under the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples’ Party (NNPP) for 2027 general elections, Prof. Dr. Charles Sammy has warned that unless urgent steps are taking to salvage this nation genuinely, Nigerians will regret it.
He lamented that politicians and leaders of the country have milked, sucked and destroyed this nation blessed by God.
Professor Sammy Who stated this when he visited the Founder of New Nigeria Peoples’ Party(NNPP) at his residence in Lagos, said past leaders like Late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe(Owella of Onitsha), Ahmadu Bello and their likes then , showed more sacrifice without emancipation of wealth to themselves.
“Show me how much billions Zik left with or even Awo, or Tafawa Belewa or Ahmadu Bello, the first generation politicians. To us, they were corrupt at that time, but today, when you look down to the lane, you wish the spirit of these great politicians are with us because today we have demons controlling our nation,” he said.
On his intentions, Prof. Sammy hinted, “I am coming in for sacrifice. I have always said so and I believe in sacrifice that’s why when am offended politically, I do not go to court. We need to make the platform known wider, create more awareness because the vision of the party is what we Nigerians need even the name “New Nigeria Peoples’ Party”. I want to be the face of New Nigeria.”
In his reaction, the Founder of NNPP, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam said what is most important now is *better Nigeria*,adding that God in his infinite mercy has a reason for creating Nigeria and it’s citizens.
He called Nigerians to de-emphasise on tribe, Religion, colour for who becomes the President but promote peace, unity, mutual cohabitation, adding,”Nigeria is a united Nation and we shall all carry the burden together towards emancipation of our great country, saying “leaders should be more concerned about leaving a legacy worthy of emulation.”
Dr. Aniebonam who doubles as the Founder of National Association of Government Approved freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), the biggest freight forwarding body in Nigeria however solicited for the support of all to the sitting President of Nigeria, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu and pledged the support of NNPP to the success of his administration.
Speaking also, the national chairman of the party, NNPP, Dr. Major Gilbert Agbo who commended Prof. Charles Sammy for taking the right decision and step towards achieving his political aspiration, described him as an intelligent man who has answers to numerous challenges confronting Nigeria.
According to him, “he has vast knowledge, having travelled across the globe with wide human management experience.
“He has stayed behind curtains to ensure that the downtrodden in the country are giving a boost, reached out to the less privileged scholarships, basic needs including housing and so forth.”
