A popular sociopolitical activist, Reno Omokri, has slammed
a former minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, describing the former
presidential candidate as a frustrated hypocrite.
Recall that Ezekwesili’s running mate in the 2019
presidential election on the platform of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria,
ACPN, Gani Galadima, had said the former Education minister was never serious
about her presidential run.
He further accused Ezekwesili of only using the party’s
platform to negotiate to be Nigeria’s finance minister.
Ezekwesili quit the 2019 presidential race citing
ideological differences with her estranged party, ACPN. She also said the party
picked her as their candidate because they thought she had looted funds from
previous administrations.
She said then that the party became ‘enemies’ with her after
they noticed she had no funds and was not willing to go and obtain foreign cash
to prosecute the campaign
The party demanded that Ezekwesil, return all funds
generated during her campaign, accusing her of being dishonest and spending all
the funds raised for the campaign on herself.
This was after the former minister had said her campaign
raised only N48,957,416.00, $17,645.00, and £200, from October 1, 2018, to
February 2, 2019, before she withdrew from the presidential race. And Galadima
had disagreed with the figures.
But Galadima, who was also the national chairman of the
party, faulted the statement of account presented by Ezekwesili, saying the
party “rejects in entirety everything she submitted”.
And still nursing the pains of Ezekwesili’s campaign against
the Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in 2014, especially after the abduction
of the schoolgirls from Chibok, Borno State, Reno Omokri has continued to find
ways to hit back at the former minister.
And in his latest attack, Omokri tweeted that “Ezekwesili is
a frustrated hypocrite. Gani Galadima, her confidante, exposed that her
activism was only because she wanted to be Buhari’s finance minister.
@elrufai’s son called her ‘beggar with receipt’. @ObyEzeks lacks the moral
authority to call out anybody!
“Foreign media, like @Bloomberg and @BloombergUK, should
note that @ObyEzeks was accused by her own confidante, Gani Galadima, of eyeing
Emefiele and cos job. I urge them to observe whether Oby calls for Adesina’s
resignation when the same scenario happened with him.”
