Few hours after the Presidential candidate of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN) Oby Ezekwesili stepped down from the race, Presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) Fela Durotoye has also indicated his willingness to step down, if arrived at in a consensus.
Durotoye made this known in a series of tweets from his official twitter handle while commending Ezekwesili for her move.
I have always believed that leadership is about service & sacrifice & today, I would like to commend Dr. (Mrs) Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks for leading the charge to forming a viable coalition to presenting a Consensus Candidate for the 2019 Presidential elections. pic.twitter.com/t0CpW067tG

To be clear, if the process produces any other candidate apart from myself, I AM READY to support whoever the Consensus Candidate is and to do all I can to support the coalition to win the 2019 Presidential elections for our generation.
