APC's female presidential candidate explains why she danced before stepping down.

Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye, the All Progressives Congress's only female presidential candidate, has explained why she danced at the party's special convention and presidential primary.

When she took to the stage to demonstrate her dancing skills before announcing her withdrawal from the presidential race, she held delegates, party supporters, and millions of viewers spellbound.

At the three-day national convention, which took place at Eagle Square, the legal icon and media mogul was one of seven APC aspirants who stepped down for the eventual winner, Bola Tinubu.

Senator Godswill Akpabio, former Minister of the Niger Delta; Ibikunle Amosun, former Governor of Ogun State; Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Dimeji Bankole, former Speaker of the House of Representatives; Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa; and Senator Ajayi Boroffice, former Minister of the Niger Delta.

Many Nigerians expressed disappointment when she announced her withdrawal from the race after her graceful solo dance performance.

She has always enjoyed dancing even in public places, she reply when asked why she kept dancing.

“I danced because I share. When you share what you have, you invite happiness into your heart. Nigerians probably didn’t see me when I was leaving the stage. When I got to the front of the glass house, I danced again. That was when the disc jockey put ‘Buga’ music.
