Atiku can’t bring the change Nigeria needs – Ezekwesili

Oby Ezekwesili, presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), says former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar cannot orchestrate the change Nigeria needs to progress.

Speaking during Sunrise Daily, a programme on Channels Television, Ezekwesili said Abubakar,  who won the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not any better than the President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to her, Nigeria needs new politics, not Abubakar nor Buhari, who she says belong to old politics.

“No, he can’t bring the change we are referring to. That is the old politics. Nigeria is ripe for new politics,” Ezekwesili said.

“I am talking of a new nation where sacrificial leadership is what we put at the centre of where people lead and that citizens first, not politicians first, becomes the mantra of everyone in a position of leadership.”

Ezekwesili said neither the PDP nor All Progressives Congress (APC) should be voted into power in 2019.
