Nigeria’s former Minister
of Education and the presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of
Nigeria (ACPN), Oby Ezekwesili has reacted to the emergence of Atiku Abubakar
as the flag bearer of the PDP in the 2019 Presidential election.
Oby Ezekwesili who spoke
during a Channels TV interview said neither the PDP nor APC can bring the
desired change, and further added that Atiku is not any better than President
Buhari as they both belong to the same class of failed politicians.
“No, he can’t bring the
change we are referring to. That is the old politics. Nigeria is ripe for new
politics. I am talking of a new nation where sacrificial leadership is what we
put at the centre of where people lead and that citizens first, not politicians
first, becomes the mantra of everyone in a position of leadership.” she said.
“Nigeria is at stake should
you go with any of these two parties. These parties are the Siamese twins of
failure. We have no reason to vote to continue to fail. Even the divine is
tired of seeing Nigeria fail. What is at stake, children who die when they
should not be dying under the watch of a leader that came under the grand swell
of being a tried and tested general that could work everything to give security
to people. What is at stake is that the normalising of killings across the
country will simply just become our way. What is at stake is that corruption
becomes known permanently as what we are known for as a country” she added.
