Fela Durotoye, presidential
candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), says he is ready to withdraw
from the race for a consensus candidate.
In an Instagram post on Thursday,
Durotoye said he is ready to support either of Omoyele Sowore, presidential
candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), and Kingsley Moghalu, Young
Progressive Party (YPP), to win the presidential elections “for our
generation”.
Durotoye made the remark in
reaction to the withdrawal of Oby Ezekwesili, presidential candidate of the
Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN).
“I have always believed that
leadership is about service and sacrifice and today, I would like to commend
Dr. (Mrs) Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks for leading the charge to forming a viable
coalition to presenting a Consensus Candidate for the 2019 Presidential elections,”
Durotoye said.
“To ensure that an alliance is
formed and we present a united front, I AM READY to come into any coalition
talks with my brothers Omoyele Sowore @yelesho and Prof. Kingsley Moghalu
@moghalukingsley and to submit myself to any transparent process that will help
us arrive at a selection of a Consensus Candidate from amongst us.
“To be clear, if the process
produces any other candidate apart from myself, I AM READY to support whoever
the Consensus Candidate is and to do all I can to support the coalition to win
the 2019 Presidential elections for our generation.
“Once again, I implore the
frontline candidates in our generation. Let us come together and seize this
historic window of opportunity for our generation to select one of us to go
ahead of us … so that ALL OF US can come together and speak with one voice at
the 2019 General Elections.
“Together, we can do the
perceived impossible. Our generation is depending on us. We must not let them
down.”
