Former Minister of Education and co-founder of the Bring Back Our Girls movement, OBY EZEKWESILI, has declared her intention to run for the presidency in the 2019 general elections.

She will be running under the platform of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN.

EZEKWESILI who said this during the party’s national convention in Abuja explained that she joined the presidential race because the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party had failed in addressing the yearnings and aspirations of the people.

While speaking on a monitored program, OBY EZEKWESILI said she is in the race for the good of the people.

She also stated that the message of her party and her campaign is that of hope with the hashtag #Hope2019.
