Oby Ezekwesili, Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN)’s presidential candidate, has withdrawn from the February 16 presidential election, Naija News can authoritatively report.
Mrs Ezekwesili as earlier reported by our correspondent had explained that her decision to step down was in a bid to help build a coalition viable of defeating the All Progressive Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party in the election.
Meanwhile, Nigerians have taken to Twitter to express mixed feelings about the development.
See some reactions below:
If 170 million Nigerians allow themselves to be fooled, trust me I'm the only person who won't be fooled. The likes of Omoyele Sowore, Oby Ezekwesili, Fela Durutoye and Kingsley Moghalu DO NOT have the interest of Nigerians at heart… THREAD #TheCandidates

Mrs Oby Ezekwesili withdraws her 2019 Presidential candidacy. Thank you for putting the people of Nigeria 1st. I’m proud to be part of the few who believe we need a new way of doing things in Nigeria. I hope a viable 3rd force will come soon. As for me, I am tired of the oldies. pic.twitter.com/q8ruAovenC

Oby Ezekwesili never stood a chance, a nice thing she stepped down from the race.
Sowore doesn't stand a chance, Moghalu doesn't stand a chance.
Brilliant guys, but lack the requisite political structures to win an election.
Their journey to Aso Rock in 2023 should start now. pic.twitter.com/puNMaprCgn

The truth is that Oby Ezekwesili has no electoral value, she can't even win her local government. Infact, Kingsley Moghalu, Oby, Sowore and Fela can only defeat PDP & APC in a debate not on ballot

Oby Ezekwesili bows out of Presidential Race, Madam Oby has just destroyed the hopes of Nigeria having a female president

Enough of tyranny, corruption and incompetence. PDP and APC must go. These parties are a summary of all the problems we face in Nigeria. Let us put Nigeria first.
I will be voting Prof. Kingsley Moghalu for president#ItIsTime #ToBuildANation
