Ezekwesili steps down from Presidential Race

The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili has stepped down from the presidential race. However she has suggested that she would form a coalition that will help defeat the two evils Nigerians have been coping with ‘APC and PDP’ in the February 16 elections.

In a statement issued on Thursday morning it was revealed that Ezekwesili took this step after several meetings with well meaning Nigerians both at home and in diaspora. This information was given by Ozioma Ubabukoh, the spokesperson for Obiageli Ezekwesili Presidential Campaign Organisation. Her action was also prompted after she closely studied the country’s electoral environment after the presidential debate.

Ezekwesili made it known that it is high time change took place as she was quoted saying “From last year, when I joined the presidential race, I made it clear to Nigerians that the country has always had a 20-year cycle of change – 1958, 1979, and 1999. As such, 2019 begins another 20-year cycle, and together with all Nigerians of good will, I stand ready to play my part to ensure that we do not miss this golden opportunity to sing a new song. There is no more time to waste. Let’s get to work!”

Ezekwesili has thanked Nigerians through Ubabukoh, and didn’t forget to thank campaign donors and volunteers, who supported her, assuring them that every penny donated to the campaign will be accounted for in coming days.”
