Following the widrawal of Oby
Ezekwesili, presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) from
the presidential race, Buhari’s social media aide, Lauretta Onochie in a post
on her Twitter page said integrity and massive support for President Buhari
made Ezekwesili ‘chicken out’ of the presidential race.
She wrote: “Oby Ezekwesili, the
Presidential Candidate of ACPN, has chickened out after watching the mammoth
crowd that continues to receive Mr. Integrity across the nation, she has pulled
out of the Presidential Race, letting her followers down. Buhari will never let
us down.”
Meanwhile, Ezekwesili in a
statement on Thursday said she stepped aside from the
presidential race to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives
Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election.
According to her, 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.
