I’m not Nigeria’s president, Ezekwesili tackles APC supporters asking her to comment on insecurity in South East

Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has tackled supporters of the All Progressives Congress that are attacking her for failing to speak up against the persistent killings in the South East.

Slamming APC supporters in a tweet on Tuesday, the former minister wondered why supporters of the ruling party would confer the constitutional duties of the president on her without handing her the officeto decisively deal with insecurity.

“It appears they have once again conferred on me the Constitutional Duties of the @NGRPresident , Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. They do so without handing the office to me so I can urgently, decisively and effectively tackle the degenerate state of insecurity in the South East and other parts of the country; and permanently put them to shame for their abysmal failure,” Ms Ezekwesili said.

“ Such duplicity is the typical Modus Operandi of the @OfficialAPCNg @NigeriaGov folks and their Fan Club who never take responsibility for anything but suffer from an obsession to “grab power just for the sake of power”. When you are ready to hand over formally to me as your Commander-in-Chief of the Nigeria Armed Forces, let me know,” she added.

Recall that the former minister’s detractors continued to drag her after she remained silent about the rising insecurity in the South East. Many people have remained perplexed as to why the former minister chose to focus on the EU election report rather than making any comments on the region’s security situation.
