Information reaching the PoliticsNGR newsdesk now reveals that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has turned down the withdrawal request of the Presidential Candidate of ACPN, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili.

The Electoral Body explained that it was acting on the Electoral Act which stipulates that a candidate would only withdraw from the race no less that 45 days to the date of elections.

Mrs. Ezekwesili announced her withdrawal from the Presidential race earlier today. A move that has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians with many questioning her motives for the action.

Lol this thing be like soap opera

Ezekwesili is a sell out to Buhari she was simply working for Buhari to divide Atiku's vote but on seeing that it's not working as planned she wants to drop out, but the demonic APC won't let her because you can't dine with the devil and just walk away.

BTW whether she is there or not doesn't make a difference as she can only get 0.087% of total votes cast nation wide.

Oby and her cohort can't stop Nigeria from working again.

Little things not big ones expose ones incompetence

Confusion! INEC electoral act? Meanwhile the thinking is that Madam Oby is gunning for the minister of finance in the next govt.

Last last everybody go dey alright

U must fight to finish that is what Inec is saying ....and ensure u balance your nomination fee

you must finish wetin u start . After what this woman did to Gej.. I see her to be a political gold digger

As expected, her name has already been submitted, she is a joke of a person. What a waste of time and attention.

Mixed reactions

Hahahahahahaha
lwkmd

I understand with Inec oh because accepting her withdrawal will mean changing all electoral materials

Cos INEC have already written result...LMAO.

Madam Oby should have known better than this.
Now, she is stuck in there.
She has no choice than to contest.
AGREEMENT IS AGREEMENT.
Good luck Madam!!

Make dem use tipex na

Is it their withdrawal??

She don't want to divide Obi votes since she is from south east.



Mumu inec if atiku wan withdrew nah na fast fast una go run am

I hope the amended electoral act Buhari failed to accent to will address this issue too...it is simply undemocratic

miriamalpha1:
why the blocking, she has her rights

Her rights are subject to the law.

The law states that it's too late to pull out.

I laughed in Swahili

This one na by force oo, . She must come back and fight to finish. .
