“This means that Nigerians must depart from the old order of voting political parties instead of individuals with track records of high performance.
“We hereby present to Nigerians, a political platform- The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP),” Mr Aniebonam said.
He said that the two dominant political parties had not done so well to totally alleviate the sufferings of the majority of Nigerians.
Mr Aniebonam decried the challenges of insecurity and the economy facing the country.
According to him, NNPP has been diligently undertaking stocks of the events in Nigeria since 2001.
“It is now time for every individual who believes in a new Nigeria of our dreams to come forward and join us to restart Nigeria and remove it from consumption to productive economy,” he added.
On zoning of the presidency, Mr Aniebonam said that the Eastern region should be given the opportunity to provide the presidential candidate in 2023.
He said that the need for justice, equity and fairness should prevail in the overall interest of our country.
“We in the New Nigeria Peoples Party and other sister political parties have never provided leadership in Nigeria.
“We do not speak the language of zoning but lookout for the best materials that have the capacity to restart Nigeria from the beginning.
“We invite all good people of Nigeria who have something to offer to join us to re-establish a new Nigeria of our dreams,” Mr Aniebonam said.
