Oby Ezekwesili
Obiageli ‘Oby’ Ezekwesili, the presidential
candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) has indicted
the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for shielding corrupt
individuals.
Ezekwesili said this today while delivering a
speech titled, ‘To those who say we cannot win: Unveiling the Oby
Ezekwesili Roadmap to 2019’ in Lagos.
“There
is no shadow of doubt: President Buhari is the most parochial, most
nepotistic and most partisan president that Nigeria has ever seen,”
she said in her speech. “This president talks about fighting grand
corruption. Please, please, give me a break! Can corruption fight
corruption? Does he think we cannot see? A president that looks the
other way while his friends and cronies suffocate and strangle our
country?”
Ezekwesili called on Nigerians to support her
candidacy saying she “is one of the very small tribe of Nigerians
who have served in government but who have no allegation of
corruption against them. I don’t mean court case o. I mean
allegation. Zero, none.”
The former Vice President of the World Bank for
Africa has as a campaign cornerstone the lifting of over 80 millions
Nigerians out of poverty into progress and prosperity.
Ezekwesili is a graduate of the University of
Lagos and Harvard University. She is a former minister of Education,
and then of and Solid Minerals.
