Former presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, has retired her campaign funds, accounting for “every penny” spent.

The former vice-president of the World Bank, in a detailed breakdown of income and expenditure, said the campaign raised N48,957,416.00, $ 17,645.00, and £200, from October 1, 2018 to February 2, 2019.

She also revealed that her campaign spent over N12 million on travels, N10.6 million on media and publicity, and another N15.3 million on “campaign mobilisation fees, meeting and logistics costs.”

In total, her campaign, according to TheCable, spent N46,521,806.19 in running its activities for the 2019 presidential campaign, which was aborted about a month to the eventual poll.

The spokesperson of the Obiageli Ezekwesili Presidential Campaign Organisation, Ozioma Ubabukoh, said via a press statement that she withdrew from the race to build a veritable coalition.

“This decision followed extensive consultations with leaders from various walks of life across the country over the past few days. I deem it necessary for me to focus on helping to build a veritable coalition to ensure a viable alternative to the APC and PDP in the forthcoming elections,” Ubabukoh had said.

The ACPN, on the other hand, said the former minister of education, and former vice-president of the World Bank, was only seeking to be finance minister — and never took her campaign seriously.

“The reason for calling this press conference is to let the world know about the presidential aspiration of Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, which in actual fact, is not the truth. I have been put into confidence by one of her aide named Iyinoluwa Aboyeji that she only wanted to use the platform of the ACPN to negotiate to be Nigeria’s finance minister,” Ganiyu Galadima, Ezekwesili’s running mate and ACPN chairman, said.

Ezekwesili said she regrets joining the party, adding that she thought they shared the same values she holds dearly.

After her exit, the party went on to endorse incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term.

To those who rushed to conclude that she is a "yahoo lady" that just wanted to dupe people

Madam don make money..where is the audit account...Madam , you are an Accountant

before Mr Buhari assumed office as president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he swore an oath to defend and promote the Constitution of the country but unfortunately we have watched helpless as the president has trampled under his feet both the Constitution and the rule of law which he was elected to uphold in the following cases:
a) Outright disrespect to the principle of federal character in the appoint of principal officers to head government agencies, with over 80% of key officers from the north
b) Unlawful detention of the Islamic cleric leader, El Zakzakky against existing court orders granting his release
c) unlawful detention of Sambo Dasuki, despite court ruling granting his release on bail
d) Unconstitutional removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen contrary to the provision of the Constitution that only a recommendation from the NJC or 2/3 majority of the Senate, but rather relying on an ex-parte order from Justice Umar who is also under investigation from the EFCC and having a case at the court, to perpetuate the illegalityFellow Nigerians, check President Muhammadu Buhari's cabinet today, you will see that our ministers are mainly politicians with little or no technical knowledge in their areas of duties.
Do you think such cabinet can take us to the promise land?say No to Dementia!Atiku is modern like Apple Macbook,Atiku dey go nuclear!
