Oby Ezekwesili, former minister
of education, has hinted at challenging President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
Writing via her Twitter handle on
Wednesday, Ezekwesili asked if it was already late to join the race for 2019.
A former vice-president of World
Bank (African region), Ezekwesili has been a strong critic of Buhari, and has
at various times accused him of failing in his responsibilities.
She is currently spearheading a
movement known as #RedCardMovement, aimed at “retiring old politicians”.
She recalled that Buhari declared
to run for 2015 presidential election on October 8, 2014, adding: “it is not
late.”
The academic tweeted: “Let me
even ask those of you that understand the electoral calendar. Is it already
late to challenge all these OLD ORDER candidates of the Siamese-Twins of Bad
Leadership &Governance Failure?
“I am starting to think that one
should step up & send them PACKING for GOOD. I am beginning to think, Why
NOT?
“I am beginning to think, Let’s
ALL ARISE and take on these OLD ORDER candidates cos after all, a time comes
when Enough becomes really&truly ENOUGH.
“I believe like many of you that
the #NewNigeriaOfOurDream is POSSIBLE. Let’s FIGHT FOR IT!
“I went in search of what time
our current President declared a Run for 2015 Presidential Elections. Here is
what I found: https://t.co/4dWZ68yuqM
“He declared on October 8, 2014.
Folks, IT IS NOT LATE o. #LetsFightForIt.”
She added that every great thing
in history “started like a joke, and that “the #NewNigeriaOfOurDreamIsPossible.”
“My heart and my head have to
align for that to happen. And I know me. Once Mind is made up…… there’s no
stopping. If this ever happens, it shall be nothing but DIVINE!”
