On Thursday morning, Oby Ezekwesili announced her withdrawal from 2019 presidential race saying she has opted to help build a coalition to defeat the All Progressives Congress and the People’s Democratic Party in the February 16, 2019 election. (Read HERE) As expected, her decision is generating mixed reactions among Nigerians and while many applaud her decision others feel she has just dashed the hopes of Nigeria having a female president at this time.Oby Ezekwesili bows out of Presidential Race, Madam Oby has just destroyed the hopes of Nigeria having a female president — Suzzette (@queensuzzette) January 24, 2019Madam oby I saw this coming that why I leave you to campaign for #SoworeRufai2019— Mohamed Salah (@Moko_polo) January 24, 2019Do referee to anoint "3rd Force" candidate, abandon the anointed.Enter the race less than 6 months to the election.Exit the race less than 1 month to the election.Madam Oby, weh done ma.— Yemi Tula (@yemitula) January 24, 2019So it's now that madam Oby Ezekwesili realizes she needs to form a coalition to end PDP/APC dominance?!?!?! Mschew! All of una be jokers!!!— Rango (@ehichinski) January 24, 2019Some people are not just going anywhere and they know this. Nice one Madam Oby.— akpa godwin ifeanyi (@majorbigz) January 24, 2019So Madam Oby is graduating from one self deceit and pipe dream to another, what is forming a coalition that’ll defeat the APC and PDP in next month’s election?I personally think the ability to analyze situations and make the right decisions is a very key part of leadership— SoulJah (@jeffphilips1) January 24, 2019In my heart I knew this was likely going to be Madam Oby’s move all along. It is a very smart and practical move.1. Draw lots of attention to her beliefs for the country.2. Step aside (deep down we know she is unlikely to win as it is)...— The Under_dog (@ILOBAA) January 24, 2019As a Nigerian who believes that more participation of women in politics will help to strengthen our democracy, the news of Madam Oby withdrawing from the Presidential race is not something to rejoice over.— The Future Leader (@Future_Leader) January 24, 2019Like I've said in the past, Madam Oby might have good intentions about how Nigeria should be led, but her impassioned idealism (considering she's been in politics) worries me. There's a Messiah complex in there somewhere.— EDWARD Israel-Ayide (@wildeyeq) January 24, 2019Breaking news: Madam Oby Ezekwesili withdraws from the presidential race to focus forming a coalition for a viable alternative Everything no be by twitter followers. Good she has

tested her strength & popularity on the street to know that she’s overrating herself. pic.twitter.com/g2GA5RXU61— ‘Lekomo (@olowolekomoh) January 24, 2019Madam Oby does not have any plans for Nigeria and in my eyes, she is or was the most unserious Presidential candidate in the race. I would like to see who she is getting behind just so I can tweet them about the knife she is hiding behind her back.— Tim "O" Tebz #StepUpTheVote (@timotebz) January 24, 2019You see that confused madam Oby has pulled out of the Presidential race. This should not be a surprise, but a slap on those that actually believed in her at first.— Yemiojo Samuel (@yemmmyojo) January 24, 2019Madam Oby has withdrawn and wants to support a candidate now? Dear @obyezeks,The game is the game but I’m here to tell you that we know your game plan 100%.Thank God that the candidate of PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar didn’t debate with you guys who are buharists in disguise.— . (@Heir_2D_Throne) January 24, 2019Good decision for Madam Oby to step down. Now after the elections ma, sit Moghalu, Fela and any other third force candidate and start planning for 2023 immediately. We need to kick this weird APC devils out of existence. PDP will need a serious opposition to sit up.— No one (@ilynem) January 24, 2019Wonder the rhetoric Aisha Yesufu is going to spin now that Madam Oby has dropped out of the race. Whom will she tell the man her husband loaned money to support now.— Erhire petr (@Erhipete) January 24, 2019So sad to see Madam Oby withdraw from the race but I think it's a smart move, she has no chance at all but this coalition she speaks of should have been done a long time ago.— ForcaBarca! (@folajiboku) January 24, 2019Nice one Madam Oby, it's good as she accepted her fate... You can win with another angle, don't follow crowd..I respect your decision ma'am — DADDY THE BOY (@DaddyTheBoy) January 24, 2019The post 'Shehas just destroyed the hopes of Nigeria having a female president' - Nigerians react to Oby Ezekwesili's decision to step down appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
