I just wish Buhari will just withdraw too, but greed, selfishness nepotism etc won't let him retire and face his old age and ill health

He is the same person that said if his party should reappoint him for a second tenure,, he will contest. He is totally confused. It is like they are pushing him like a wheelbarrow.

He is only a tool in the hands of the cabals. They (cabals) won't even wan't to replace him with anybody. Does he even know what is happening in Nigeria??

eagleeye2:

Sorry to quote you. But most people from her region saw her as an hypocrite she is.

Okay Sir.
We respect your view too!

Mama is confused
I'll rather advise her to be a VP not a President cos Nigerians will neva emerge a female as their president.

After how many weeks to election? She had known all along that she just needed the popularity and that is all.

Now that she is popular, she can now have a say with respect to how much she needs to step down.

princfred:
Wow. This is glorious. My respect for her and womanity just skyrocketed. Imagine the other candidates doing the same then we have a real contest. Wow.... this woman has earned her place in the pack of true enlightened political elites and written her name in Gold.

This powerful move should earn her a place as VP to any of the other candidates.

#Itshallberemembered.

Most reasonable comment so far. She's a true patriot. Imagine Sowore, Olawepo-Hashim, Durotoye, Duke and Okotie getting behind Moghalu and galvanising votes for him against PDP/APC.

Bitterleafsoup:
Its true but me I can't vote for her or Sowore for helping APC into power.

Yeah.... revenge is actually best enjoyed when served cool.
Sowore and Ezekwelisi spent a good time of their lives to bring Buhari through propaganda into power.

I want Buhari to win so that all those who helped installed him hitherto should learn a bitter lesson.

I have been saying she can't even win a counselor's election in her local government area

True, the reason why I find it hard to support her.
I still remember all she did in 2014

Oby is a very intelligent woman. A firebrand, Her mind is filled with great ideas that can easily transform this country, but our political environment is not for people like her, durotoye who are too sophisticated to 'Play ball'. Lack of funds must have let her quit.

That's what good mature politics where the good of the people trumps selfish individual interest like beloved Oby just demonstrated should look like. That's how saner clones run politics to the betterment of their people.

Are you 12 or something? how can you say she needed popularity.

Bitterleafsoup:

Yeah understandable we all held that against her but she has carried out this huge political redemption act now. I call clean slate. Or dont you think her sins should be forgiven now? I think so.

EmagNig:
Oby Ezekwesili withdraws from presidential race on Thursday morning and has rather opted to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election.

In a statement issued by the spokesperson for the Obiageli Ezekwesili Presidential Campaign Organisation, Ozioma Ubabukoh, Ezekwesili was quoted as saying that her decision to withdraw from the race followed extensive discussions with Nigerians at home and the Diaspora.

According to her, the action is also prompted by an examination of the country’s electoral environment sequel to the 2019 presidential debate of Saturday, January 19, 2019.



She said,



Ezekwesili also said,



She added,



Meanwhile, Ubabukoh thanked Nigerians, including campaign donors and volunteers, who supported Ezekwesili, saying that “every money donated to the campaign and funds spent will be accounted for in the coming days.”

Too bad, your Igbo ppl will rather Atikulate for another northerner than vote for you their own daughter; yet the same ppl will later be crying marginalisation and northern born to rule mentality.

Mitchewww:
Sending Buhari back to Daura is a patriotic duty.

Even a presidential candidate knows that.

She wants a coalition to perform a patriotic duty.

But my worst worry are the irredeemable zombies.

How people of such abysmally low IQ still exist and claim to be litrates is a wonder.

And sending Atiku and his looting gang to permanent retirement is a task that must be done.

Is not a wonder you are so irredeemably dull, to think with this useless post you have convinced the so-called to your pint of view.

How can i take seriously the candidate of those who mostly want the country to fail and get dismembered? Is it not a ploy assure the destiny of the country is handed to thieves who will lead us to disintegration?

She made a very good decision.
She has seen the handwriting on the wall.
Its a shame that most people from her region NEVER supported her from day one, but rather support a thief and criminal.

Only the blind people or people that enjoy lying to themselves that up till now do not know who the next president of Nigeria for the next 4 years will be....

Even the wise people know who the next Presidents of Nigeria for the next 12 years are, all by the special grace of God.
Thumbs up Madam Oby!

You have said it all sis.
You are 100% on point!

People from her region

Yesterday, you said "we the Igbos" in one post. Keep lieing.

You are not Igbo!
You are from South south!

Don't lie like your evil Party cos I know what you look like, your State and name.

Me kop?

The tweet that changed Oby's mind

You got it wrong. She was persuaded to drop by Obasanjo and join force with Atiku. My problem with PMB is that he is not in charge of his government. Different Cabals....are taking advantages of his weakness and limitations for their selfish ends. There is gross corruption in APC. Voting for PMB is voting for Tinubu and the Cabal to continue exploting Nigerians to the next level. It is not as if ATIKU is the best option.

aremz:
Good....atiku should follow

wat of the cabal not Buhari because he not in control they should also follow....

handie:
This is commendable. Truth is, irrespective of how brilliant and noble the other candidates and their ideas are, right now, it's next to impossible to go toe to toe with APC and PDP. What is needed is a coalition of all these parties with an agreement to present one candidate who all others will unselfishly support(Olawepo Hashim or Sowore in this case). Oby won't have been a bad choice but honestly, the country ain't ready for a female president(sorry feminists). With the youthful population and an agressive social media campaign, wresting power from these old dumb leaders is achievable. I hope other candidates can toe her path

I cannot but agree with u.
But to achieve this looks terribly very impossible because of the huge population the northern illiterate youths who know noting rather than their religion and are like "push and start car". This has always been our set back in Nigeria , and they have been what these old cargos always rely on to wrestle, and continue to hold on to power. The only way to achieve this is to first liberate these people from their ignorance and poor mind set and get them to think for themselves just like u and I, that's when what u said here will be possible.

Omoluabi16:

When you heard her name before she started campaigning for presidency, what comes into your mind?

God bless Nigeria.

How about Atiku withdraws?

Wise move

I was not going to vote initially, but with this I just dusted my PVC and waiting for others to join up to stand behind one person. And I would advice they go for Sowore because of his fearless and blameless stand and pen down Olawepo for chief of staff, with moghalu for ministry of finance and supervising minister of the economy. We can do this. This is the set time and the only time I feel our sacrifice will be worth it.

We are not tribalistic. We are nationalistic. We consider the general interest of Nigeria.

She should work hand in hand with Baba to continue building the good Nigeria that Baba has started.

She was unfortunate to work with thieves, rogues and looters in the last dispensation.
A better Nigeria is what we want.
Thumbs up Madam Oby.

It's a big shame when most people from your region NEVER supported or BELIEVED in you, but they rather queue behind CRIMINALS and LOOTERS.
There qwas as a nation!

Thumbs up Madam Oby, You fought a good fight!
Nigeria will be GREAT again with folks like you around
WE love you too!

nigeria will be great again and u are supporting Buhari who is not in control of ur country but d cabal, stop taking weed and for looters but parties are d same....

Most of these Aspirants will sure do better if they at least contest at senatorial level. PDP and APC still a strong force.

Femich18:
Even if she contest she won't win so why wasting her precious time?
All other parties should assemble together and help us chase away APC=PDP but they won't do that...
Nice one though. I hope she support Sowore

Sowore is a typical agboro. We need a president

The earlier you stop wasting money in a race you know that you can't come third the better for you. Just support Atiku to defeat that failure you help to assume power.
