The national chairman of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria ACPN, Alhaji Gani Galadima, on Thursday endorsed the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Galadima is also the running mate of the party’s presidential flag bearer Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili who announces her withdrawal from presidential race this morning.
A statement issued by the party, signed by Galadima and the party’s secretary, Chief Paul Isamade, read, “The reason for calling this press conference is to let the world know about the presidential aspiration of Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, which in actual fact, is not the truth. I have been put into confidence by one of her aide named Iyinoluwa Aboyeji that she only wanted to use the platform of the ACPN to negotiate to be Nigeria’s finance minister,” he said.
“This she does not deem fit to inform the party whose mandate she is holding. If you observe, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili is the only presidential candidate who was so militant in her campaign without any tangible thing on ground to indicate any seriousness in the prosecution of her campaign.
“No campaign secretariat, billboard or great commitment on ground to indicate any seriousness. It is on this ground that the ACPN is withdrawing support for her presidential aspiration and endorsing the second term bid of President Muhammadu Buhari to take Nigeria to the next level
