Another Presidential candidate withdraws from race

The Presidential candidate of the National Interest Party, NIP, Eunice Atuejide, has withdrawn from the race.

This came barely twenty eight days, when the former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili made her own announcement from the race.

Disclosing this in a statement, Atuejide opined that she stepped down from the election because her race for the presidency was programmed to end on February 16 “and it did.”

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, cancelled and postponed the Presidential and National Assembly elections billed to hold on the 16th February to 23rd February 2019, citing logistic issues.

However, Atuejide, in the same statement obtained by PremiumTimes, said that she would support the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, because of his choice of VP.
