Atiku supporters warn Ezekwesili

A group of Atiku Abubakar’ s supporters , under the aegis of Atiku for Better Nigeria , has warned a former Minister of Education , Mrs Oby Ezekwesili , to desist from using derogatory remarks against Atiku and the Peoples Democratic Party.The Atiku supporters advised Ezekwesili , who is a presidential candidate for 2019 , to concentrate on her campaign and stop tagging other contestants and political parties as fraudsters .

The Atiku for Better Nigeria , in a statement by its National Coordinator , Benita Dike – Israel , made available to our correspondent , advised Ezekwesili to learn the ropes in politics so as to avoid “ falling into the abyss” .

The group argued that by painting Atiku and the PDP black , Ezekwesili was indicting herself and bitting the fingers that fed her since she was a minister under the PDP regime .

The group said , “ Oby should learn not to be rude to Atiku or bite the fingers that fed her .

“ For her to say that the PDP and Atiku lack knowledge in economy and ( are ) into 419 politics, is self- indicting . That means her period as Minister of Education and Solid Minerals added no value to the party that appointed her and to Nigeria as a whole ; that also means that her immense credential amounts to nought and ( she ) has nothing new to offer . After all , a river is as good as its source ; for whatever is built on void is void . ”

The Atiku supporters argued that by joining politics, Ezekwesili , who had been spearheading the campaign for the release of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls through the # BringBackOurGirls movement , had “ diluted her fame and goodwill among ordinary Nigerians and friends of Nigeria ” .

According to the group , people will now begin to see Ezekwesili ’ s campaign for the release of the Chibok schoolgirls as “ a mere ruse , smokescreen and cheap opportunity to feather her own political nest . ”

“ Whereas it is her constitutional right as an eligible Nigerian to contest the election , yet she should understand politics as a game of persuasion and lobbying rather than ( using ) pressure group tactics of brick batting and ( using ) foul language .

“ She can politicise without being rude and judgmental , ” the Atiku supporters said .
