Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson of President Muhammadu Buhari campaign organization, has urged the former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili to team up with Buhari.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Keyamo made the call while reacting to the decision of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN, to reject Ezekwesili and support Buhari\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST had reported that Ezekwesili stepped aside from the presidential race to help build a coalition that would defeat the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 16, 2019 election.<\/p>\n

She explained that her decision to withdraw from the race followed extensive discussions with Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora and an examination of the country\u2019s electoral environment sequel to the 2019 presidential debate of Saturday, January 19, 2019.<\/p>\n

But reacting to her decision, ACPN lambasted Ezekwesili for allegedly using its platform to negotiate a ministerial position in the next political dispensation.<\/p>\n

However, Keyamo commended ACPN for opting to support Buhari\u2019s re-election bid.<\/p>\n
