Ezekwesili also lambasted the APC for what she described as the ruling party’s “abysmal failure”.

She wrote:

“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.
“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”.
