ACPN Disowns Ezekwesili, Declares Support for Buhari

Crisis
seems to be lurking at the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) as
the national leadership of the party has parted ways with its
presidential candidate, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili.

The party Thursday
responded to the announcement of withdrawal from the presidential race
by Ezekwesili, saying it no longer recognises the former minister as its
candidate.

Ezekwesili had earlier in the day announced her
withdrawal from the 2019 presidential race, saying she would support an
alliance against the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, ACPN said that it no longer shares the same aspiration with Ezekwesili.

In
a statement signed by the National Chairman of ACPN, Abdulganiyu
Galadima, the party said that it has resolved to endorse the APC
presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.
