Ezekwesili who has soft peddled in her call for the release of the kidnapped over 200 Chibok school girls is believed to be banking on the support of former president, Olusegun Obasanjo to get appointed into Buhari’s cabinet.

The co-founder of Transparency International, TI, was accused of becoming silent on national issues also.
“How come all of a sudden we are no longer hearing Oby Ezekwesili campaign for their release? Did something get mixed up along the line? Because it is on record that the army said the Chibok girls were NOT among the rescued girls. The wife of the president on Thursday evening held a dinner with the mothers of the missing girls; so if indeed they have not been found, why is All Progressives Congress, APC, backtracking?” Nigerian Pilot queried.
The report further said: “Her recent reported lobby for a ministerial appointment in the Buhari administration is said to have the backing of Obasanjo as pay back for her propaganda against Jonathan on the Chibok girls issue”.

Nigerian Pilot however didn’t state if President Buhari is considering her for a role in his administration.
In June 2006, Mrs. Ezekwesili was appointed the Minister of Education, until she took up an appointment with World Bank in May 2007. She left the World Bank later and veered into the public commentary.
