Former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili
Former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, has restated her support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, ahead of the coming 2027 election.
This is as she also called for a new trajectory that addresses national governance, human dignity and the failure of Nigeria’s political system to improve the lives of the citizenry.
Ezekwesili, a former vice president for the World Bank’s Africa region, co-founder of the #BringBackOurGirls movement and founder of the School of Politics, Policy and Governance, made the remarks on Arise TV’s ‘Prime Time’ show on Monday.
She recalled that, using the same leadership criteria to pick her preferred presidential candidate in the keenly contested 2023 election, she would still support the ex-Anambra State governor, adding that he (Obi) would rank higher.
