Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson
of President Muhammadu Buhari campaign organization, has urged the former
Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili to team up with Buhari.
Keyamo made the call while
reacting to the decision of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN, to
reject Ezekwesili and support Buhari’s re-election bid.
Ezekwesili had earlier today stepped
aside from the presidential race to help build a coalition that would defeat
the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in
the February 16, 2019 election
She explained that her decision
to withdraw from the race followed extensive discussions with Nigerians at home
and in the Diaspora and an examination of the country’s electoral environment
sequel to the 2019 presidential debate of Saturday, January 19, 2019.
But reacting to her decision,
ACPN lambasted Ezekwesili for allegedly using its platform to negotiate a
ministerial position in the next political dispensation.
However, Keyamo commended ACPN
for opting to support Buhari’s re-election bid.
In a tweet, Keyamo wrote:
“Thanks, ACPN, for seeing the light we saw long ago. We beseech the respected
Oby Ezekwesili to join hands now with PMB. The coalition we need in Nigeria is
a coalition against corruption, not a coalition against any political party.
PMB is already leading the pack against corruption.”
