I’ll form govt of national unity, if elected – Hashim

People’s Trust (PT) presidential candidate in the February 16 presidential election, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo Hashim, has pledged to form a government of national unity that will include all political camps across the divides.
 
The PT candidate, who said a unity government will address the challenges facing the country, noted that the urgent task of rescuing Nigeria requires every available good hand, not just in the PT, but across board.
 
He said rather than adopt the negative attitude of major parties that had opted to sideline quality hands from their administrations because they are not members of their political platforms, the PT administration will run an all inclusive government.
 
 
“Our government will include forward looking political leaders in the two major parties and the newly registered parties, members of the Intelligentsia, professional groups, youth, women and other social interest groups and technocrats that we need from within Nigeria and the energetic and patriotic Nigerian diaspora community.
 
“I have related across the social movements, political spectrum in the past 30 years and the business contingent of the Nigeria diaspora for almost 10 years, I know firsthand the talents at the disposal of Nigeria, to save the country from the current state of hopelessness.
 
“I will form a broad-based government within 48 hours of being sworn in as president by the grace of God, to confront the urgent task of securing Nigeria, uniting her people and bringing economic prosperity and rapid all-round infrastructural and social development.
 
“We have the talented people to solve the problems confronting Nigeria both within and outside the country, only the narrow mindedness and ineptitude of some leaders have prevented the deployment of these enormously great human resource available to this nation.
 
‘We have no stomach for egocentrism and revenge and nemesis in the urgent task of rescuing Nigeria .We will reach out across the “Isle” and bring Nigerians quickly to defeat insecurity and poverty,” Hashim said.
