I left government with my integrity intact and my name untainted. In all my years in the public, private, or development sector, there has never been any allegation of corruption against me. Not one. I have stayed true and consistent to my values - in private and public

[Oby2019 @oby2019]

Millions of our citizens who followed our campaign on multiple platforms across the country can attest that we ran a promising campaign uniquely designed to be disruptive.

[Oby2019 @oby2019]

Let me reiterate that the #CitizensFirst campaign I ran was a serious one to which I was wholeheartedly committed.

I am not saying that I am above public scrutiny - no one is, but surely reasonable persons can see through the baselessness of these allegations.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

More hilarious was the accusation that I raised and looted campaign donations. It is only morally bankrupt politics that can make anyone even imagine such accusation against me. #FixPolitics

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

In all my years in the public, private, or development sector, there has never been any allegation of corruption against me. Not one.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

As an official of government of Nigeria, I took a 90 per cent salary cut in order to serve this great country. I left government with my integrity intact and my name untainted.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

My absolute dedication to public accountability is widely known and no matter how much we had hoped to raise as campaign support from the public we designed an accounting system to go beyond the basic minimum of accountability required by the Electoral Act.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

I ask for the forgiveness and understanding of all who are hurt by my withdrawal from the race even as I take comfort in the fact that they would agree with my choosing to stand with my values rather than compromise.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission to #Fight4Naija, bring back hope to our land and lift 80 million fellow citizens out of extreme poverty.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians.
