Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has revealed why she has not taken a ministerial appointment since after 2007.
According to the Bring Back Our Girls Co-convener, she made ‘a decision to never again accept any “Ministerial Appointment” in this country’ and had therefore turned down all the offers that came her way even though people find it hard to believe.
Taking to her verified Twitter page on Monday morning, Ezekwesili wrote:
‘I keep asking, “what is it about becoming a minister that these folks find so fascinating, considering the hardship my previous service to Nigeria including as a Minister, cost my family and me?” Finally, I got it. Such attack is by all those who see public office as a Meal.
‘After 2007, I made a decision to never again accept any “Ministerial Appointment” in this country. Facts are all around that every time I was offered to be a Minister since 2007, I swiftly turned down the offer. I know it kills some of you to accept this but it is what it is.’
