A former Governor of Anambra State, Mr Peter Obi, is set to declare his intention to vie for the 2023 Presidency.
Some of his closest allies confirmed that the former vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2019 has pit machinery in motion for his declaration.
One of the allies was quoted to have said: “I can tell you on good authority that Obi will sooner than later declare his presidential ambition. He has almost concluded nationwide consultations and I can tell you that the signals are very positive.”
Contacted for comments, Obi’s Media Adviser, Barrister Valentine Obienyem, said: “His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi, recently promised to speak to Nigerians on the 2023 Presidency. He is touched and grateful for the clamour for him to run.
“I can assure you that Obi will soon speak as promised and when he does, Nigerians will be happy with what he will say.”
Obi, a globally-respected technocrat and administrator, has been under increasing pressure to contest the Presidency, with many Nigerians, especially youths promising to raise funds for his campaign.
