Ezekwesili Prays For Nigeria As Hope2019 Movement Suspends Activities To Mourn Hauwa

Former minister of Education and 2019 presidential candidate, Obiageli Ezekwesili has mourned the death of an aid worker with the International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC, Hauwa Liman.

Recall that the Boko Haram sect had executed Liman, on Monday, promising to keep Leah Sharibu, one of the Dapchi schoolgirls who is still being held captive.

Reacting to the incident, Ezekwesili had tweeted, “O God of Creation, help us. Help us Lord. Help us. Help our government to rise up in all its might, no matter how weakened. Help our Leader to decisively and permanently confront all those that kill off our young, our old, our men, our women. Our people can’t keep being killed.”

Similarly, the official organisation for the Obiageli Ezekwesili’s #Hope2019 movement for the Nigerian presidency suspended its pre-campaign activities in honour of Liman.

Ezekwesili, who returned to Abuja, to join compatriots on the streets mourning the tragedy, called on the authorities to address the failures and gaps that continue to take the lives of Nigerian citizens.
