Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi on Thursday declared his intention to run for President in 2023.
He made the declaration in Awka at a gathering of traditional rulers in Anambra State.
Obi had visited the traditional rulers to seek their blessing and inform them of his intention to pursue his Presidential ambition in the 2023 general election.
The Anambra businessman said, ”My job here is simple. It’s to inform you as my own fathers that I will be contesting, aspiring for the post of President of Nigeria.”
According to him, the next election would determine the future of Nigeria and admonished voters to elect competent and capable politicians who will deliver on their campaign promises.
“This next election will determine the future of Nigeria. It will not go well with Nigerians if the election does not go well. Nigeria is more important than all of us, we must ensure that we build a better place for us all,” he said.
Mr Obi was running mate to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in the 2019 presidential election.
