Ex- Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, on Saturday stated that, this is not the change Nigerians voted for and President Muhammadu Buhari doesn't deserve to be president, due to his lackadaisical attitude to the plight of the 2000 Nigeria Immigration Service recruits, who slept at the entrance of Aso Villa in Abuja from Friday till Saturday morning. Ezekwesili, while appealing to the protesters to maintain decorum, also challenged President Buhari to come out and publicly address the alleged illegal recruitment which has permeated his administration in the last couple of months, saying “that was not the change Nigerians voted for. "According to her, “you are great Nigerians. So, you slept here, Oh my God! Inside this cold of Abuja. Somebody owes you a better explanation, and if President Muhammadu Buhari says he doesn’t know that you slept here since yesterday, it means he doesn’t deserve to be there. "This government should not punish those who did not deserve to be punished. Nothing should be done secretly. This is not the change Nigerians voted for. President Buhari should come out and address the allegation of illegal recruitment going on in the civil service,” she added. Reacting, the Presidency in its reaction challenged the former minister Ezekwesili to form a political party and run for presidency, if she felt Buhari was not doing well. Meanwhile, at the time of filing this report, the protesters, who slept at the entrance of the Villa till Saturday, have vowed to remain there, until the president or any of his aides comes out to address them.
