Presidential Candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili yesterday said she was in the presidential race to rescue Nigeria from the current socio-economic and security challenges and incompetent leaders.
The presidential candidate who argued that the country is where it is today because of incompetent leaders, said she has the competency and capacity to solve Nigeria’s complex challenges which according to her included socio-economic and security challenges.
The ACPN presidential candidate spoke to journalists shortly after addressing women, youths, school children and people living with disabilities as she flagged off her presidential campaign in Kaduna.
She said Nigeria had no reason whatsoever to be a failed state and that it was high time for people of good conscience to rescue her from leaders that lack focus.
The presidential candidate added that she was in the race to save Nigeria from being led by incompetent leaders noting that she was the candidate with competence and capacity to solve the complex problems facing the country for too long.
She insisted that Nigeria lacks quality leadership and it was time to save the country by voting her as the next President.
“When you are tired of mediocrity, the only person who you can think of is Oby Ezekwesili who is offering herself to lead and rescue,” she said.
