2019: EZEKWESILI’S WITHDRAWAL; Ikubese Calls For Coalition

A few minutes ago, the Presidential Candidate of ACPN, Dr Oby Ezekwesili announced her withdrawal from the 2019 presidential race.

She stated that she is willing to lead the formation of a New Breed coalition to displace the APC/PDP oligarchy, reminding us all that this was her original passion, reason she agreed to be the umpire when we invited her to the internal election of Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT), last year.

I wish to wholeheartedly commend Aunty Oby for this bold, selfless, patriotic step.

A few minutes ago, the Presidential Candidate of ANN and Consensus Candidate of PACT, Fela Durotoye, reiterated his willingness to drop his ticket for a new coalition, as always!

I hereby call on other New Breed Presidential candidates; Omoyele Sowore, Kingsley Moghalu, Eunice Eunice Uche Atuejide, Shina Fagbenro-Bryon, Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, Tope Fasua, Alistair Soyode, Ahmed Buhari, Felix Nicholas and all other New Breed Presidential Candidates, to please follow suite, drop their individual aspirations and come together to form one grand New Breed coalition, so that we can present one Consensus Candidate to Nigerians in next month’s presidential election.

Yes, we’ve lost ground. Yet, in politics, 24hrs is a long time!

I humbly call on the followers of these New Breed Presidential Candidates to reach out to them and persuade them to yield, instead of urging them to continue to pursue their individual aspirations, which they can’t achieve alone.

A new Nigeria is possible.

Together we can
