Ezekwesili garners 7,223 votes despite withdrawing from presidential race

INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, while announcing the results early on Wednesday in Abuja said Mr Buhari of the All Progressives Congress polled 15,191,847 votes to defeat his main challenger, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party who scored 11,255,978 votes.The presidential candidate of the party and a former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, had earlier announced her withdrawal from the presidential race citing lack of support for her vision by the party leadership.

The party leadership headed by Abdul-Ganiyu Galadima immediately denied Mrs Ezekwesili’s claims, saying that the former minister was rather pursuing a personal agenda and was never serious about her ambition. INEC had also said Mrs Ezewkwesili’s withdrawal had come too late and that it was not possible for the commission to substitute her name on the presidential list.

In spite of that, Mrs Ezekwesili did not reverse her decision as she suspended all her campaign activities. A total of 73 candidates contested the 2019 presidential election which held on Saturday, February 23, 2019.

We need more voters education. Confusion from inecnigeria ballot box Better we have 2 party system and independent candidate in our electoral policy

She is SPECIALIST IN FAILURE! She failed as Minister She failed to BBOG She failed in Red Card Movmet She failed to reconcile 3rd force She failed to coordinate her party ACPN She failed to manage the finances of her party She failed to remove a Government she alleged has failed

If she stayed, she would have been elected But ask her to return unspent donor money or apologise

This justify the fact that many Nigerians are not mentally stable

Perhaps from chibok girls Lolzzzz

Better than what Dele Momodu pulled in his time. Lol
