A former Minister of Education and presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria , Oby Ezekwesili , has declared President Muhammadu Buhari – led administration as corrupt .Ezekwesili indicted Buhari for shielding corrupt individuals in his cabinet .
The two – time minister declared this on Monday while delivering a speech titled , ‘ To those who say we cannot win: Unveiling the Oby Ezekwesili Roadmap to 2019 ’ in Lagos .

The former World Bank Vice – President expressed sadness that instead of making progress , Nigeria was retrogressing under the current administration due to zero capacity .

She said Nigeria could simply not afford to continue under the atmosphere of “ unsustainable failure” come 2019 .

She described 2019 as a moment to terminate bad leadership, retire incompetent leaders and not chose ‘ anyone but Buhari ’ .

Ezekwesili , who described the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party as a single party fielding one candidate she called ‘ Butiku ’ , said Nigerians needed to reject their candidates no matter the ‘ packaging’ .

She said , “ What is the primary legacy of President Muhammadu Buhari ? It is the destruction of our nation’ s wealth , presiding over the worst economic recession Nigeria has seen in decades .

“ And in the midst of this, his Vice -President was celebrating last week at the Nigeria Economic Summit that handing bailouts to state governors to pay salaries is an achievement . What a big shame!

“ There is no shadow of a doubt that President Buhari is the most parochial , most nepotistic and most partisan President that Nigeria has ever seen . ”
