Ex-Governor of Imo state and a serving Senator, Rochas Okorocha and Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal have declared intentions to contest in the presidential race come 2023.
While Tambuwal may likely seek to realize his ambition under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Tambuwal who was the former Speaker of the House of Representatives made his intention known, yesterday evening during a high-level stakeholder’s meeting in his home state, Sokoto.
Tambuwal speaking at the declaration, said he is not only well prepared but also ready to fix the numerous problem of the country.
He said he has distinguished himself not only as governor but also as a Speaker of the House of Representatives without any blemish or corruption tag.
Okorocha, while declaring his intention in Abuja, said Nigeria needs a leader that will give everyone a sense of belonging, and bring unity to the people, adding that he is the best man for the job.
He said: “Nigeria needs a compassionate leader that will listen to the needy, a leader that can give everyone a sense of belonging. If I say I will make Nigeria more united, believe me, I will do so.”
Okorocha challenged other presidential aspirants to show proof of their ability to uphold the unity of Nigeria like he did over the years.
