Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has charged members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to hand over the presidency and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to her.<\/p>\n

Ezekwesili vowed to tackle the degenerated insecurity in the Southeast and other parts of Nigeria if the presidency is handed over to her.<\/p>\n

She vowed to put those behind the insecurity situation in the Southeast to shame.<\/p>\n

Tweeting, Ezekwesili wrote: \u201cIt appears they have once again conferred on me the Constitutional Duties of the @NGRPresident, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do so without handing the office to me so I can urgently, decisively and effectively tackle the degenerate state of insecurity in the South East and other parts of the country and permanently put them to shame for their abysmal failure.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch duplicity is the typical Modus Operandi of the @OfficialAPCNg @NigeriaGov folks and their Fan Club who never take responsibility for anything but suffer from an obsession to \u2018grab power just for the sake of power.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you are ready to hand over formally to me as your Commander-in-Chief of the Nigeria Armed Forces, let me know. Until then, enjoy calling my name in vain.\u201d<\/p>\n
