Fela Durotoye has emerged as the consensus Presidential candidate for Presidential Aspirants coming together (PACT) meeting.
The meeting which held a few hours ago, saw some Presidential aspirants from different political parties, coming together to have a consensus candidate for the 2019 Presidential election, and at the end of the day, Fela Durotoye emerged winner.
Taking to his social media to express his joy and acceptance to become the consensus candidate for the 2019 election, Fela Durotoye had this to say:
“It is with profound gratitude and great humility that I accept your nomination as the Consensus Candidate of the Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT)
“I would like to honor all the members of PACT, 18 leaders, all uniquely qualified and able to represent 190 million Nigerians at the highest office in our nation…who displayed great humility; understanding that none of us can win as individuals, but by coming together as a team, we bring our unique abilities and diverse strengths to the table; but most importantly, being honorable to put the country first and themselves last.
You are true nation builders and our nation owes you a great debt of gratitude.”
Fela Durotoye in his speech, also asks other candidates to join hands with him in order to achieve the task ahead. He said:
“Today, I would like to extend a hand to those who have left our coalition and say to those of similar ideologies who are yet to join us, we are stronger together”
I take this nomination as a Consensus Candidate with great sense of responsibility; knowing that I & our generation have been entrusted with a mandate to show Nigerians the kind of leadership they truly desire and deserve and to inspire the hope of a better future; a New Nigeria”
Anything less than a New Nigeria is unacceptable.”
Fela Durotoye calls the 2019 election as a referendum between past and the present generation, sayin:
“The 2019 elections will be a referendum between our past and our future; between the same old change and a New hope, the old and the young, politics and good governance, joblessness and jobs, between politicians and nation builders and between experience and expertise.
We don’t expect it to be easy. “
“We will be held to higher standards than the establishment, our methods & intentions scrutinized more closely to determine if we are the same old wine, repackaged in new wine skins.
We assure you that we are nothing like what our nation has experienced over the last 58 years, but we will earn your trust, and eventually, your votes.”
I am not arrogant to claim that i have all the answers, but I am humble enough to say that I will listen to all your questions.
And with such a great team beside me, the hopes and dreams of Nigerians before me and by the Grace of God above me, we will deliver a New Nigeria, starting on May 29th, 2019.
Nigeria, we stand YOUNITED
Thank you
God bless you and may God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Fela Durotoye
