Ezekwesili – Politicians’ schemes can’t prevail over determined people

Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has sent a warning to political leaders, saying, “it is the people and not their politicians that own democracy, politics, government and governance.”

Her statement followed the report that opposition leader Bassirou Diomaye Faye has emerged as favourite to win Senegal’s presidential election, after several rivals conceded.

Sunday’s vote followed three years of turbulence and opposition protests against the incumbent, Macky Sall, who had attempted to postpone the election indefinitely.

However, Ezekwesili, in a post on her X handle on Monday, said the people of Senegal have shown the rest of the continent the way.

“Lessons from Senegal.

“When a people have finally had enough and make a determination to change their condition, no power of hell nor schemes of their politicians can prevail.

“The people of Senegal have shown the rest of our continent the way.

“We thank them.”
