“These accusations strike at the heart of the values of honesty, accountability, and moral rectitude that Dr. Ezekwesili has publicly championed,” the group stated, noting that her entanglement in such a controversy risks undermining her legacy and Nigeria’s broader fight for ethical leadership.
The group emphasized the gravity of the claims, warning that they suggest a deliberate attempt to manipulate public discourse for personal or political gain. “These allegations, if left unaddressed, cast a dark shadow over Dr. Ezekwesili’s contributions to Nigeria’s democratic and social development,” the NRN added.
