Ezekwesili Chickens Out Of Presidential Race
Presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Oby Ezekwesili has chickened out from the presidential race.
Ezekwesili said her decision to step down followed the reactions of Nigerian citizens at home and abroad to the 2019 Presidential Debate held on Saturday, 19 January, 2019.
“In doing so, I have not hesitated to offer my willingness to step down my candidacy in order to facilitate the emergence of a strong and viable alternative behind which Nigerians can line up in our collective search for a new beginning,” she said.
“We have no right to allow citizens give in to despair. We will fight
“We are also determined to ensure that the message keeps resonating that our beloved country deserves better, and that if we are to get the best that we deserve, we must fight for it,” she said.
“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 opportunity to sing a new song. We have no more time to waste. Let’s get to work,” she added.
