The presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party (ACPN), Oby Ezekwesili, has picked the chairman of the party, Abdul-Ganiyu Galadima, as her running mate for the 2019 election.

According to her campaign organization, Hope ’19, Mrs Ezekwesili announced Mr. Galadima, a former presidential candidate of the party, while unveiling her manifesto.

Ezekwesili made her intention to run for President known on the platform of the ACPN in October 2018.

She described Galadima as a gentleman and in a statement said “I am very delighted that my vice-presidential candidate, my colleague, the one that we embark on this very important fight for Naija, is ready to fight for Naija.

“That I have a rugged grass root fighter as the person who will supplement the things that I know. He will teach me how to be a consummate politician.

“Alhaji Abdulganiyu Galadima is definitely known for the work he has done at the grassroot level. As someone who started a strong career in local government, he is the kind of person I need, for us to lift 80 million people out of poverty.

“If we need competence, we can buy it; if we need capacity, we can buy it, but there is one thing we cannot buy, and that is character. For me, this gentleman represents that character.”

Oby Ezekwesili’s candidacy has recently been endorsed by two former Presidents, Joyce Banda of Malawi and Ellen Johnson-Sir leaf of Liberia.
