Ezekwesili also berated leaders who have failed to be susceptible in stabilising Nigeria’s fractured polity by being inclusive.
This remarks may not be unconnected to the controversial decision of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, who chose a fellow Muslim, Senator Kashim Shettima as his running mate for the forthcoming presidential election.

Speaking via Twitter, Ezekwesili wrote: “When innate dishonesty makes people fluctuate their rhetorics on Inclusion just to suit their personal interests, reasonable minds should never waste time analyzing to make sense of the nonsense. Just design a strategy for success that permanently shapes an Inclusive Society.
“Those who squandered what remained of Nigeria’s management of our diversity and social capital cannot be expected to care about the sensitivities every reasonable mind knows to be critical in stabilizing our fractured polity.
