The Bring Back Our Girls (#BBOG) convener had announced she withdrew from the February 16 presidential election to help build a coalition to defeat the APC and the PDP in the election.
She said her decision was taken despite resistance from her party, which has now declared support for Mr Buhari’s reelection bid.
Reacting to the news, spokesperson for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said “It is impossible for any presidential candidate to withdraw from the race now,”
“Therefore, the deadline for Ezekwesili or any candidate in that category to withdraw or be replaced has passed, her party will appear, her passport will appear and her name will appear. So it doesn’t change anything as as far as we are concerned,” Mr Oyekanmi said.
