Rochas Okorocha, senator representing Imo west, has declared
his intention to run for president in the 2023 general election.
Okorocha’s intention was stated in a letter read by Senate
President Ahmad Lawan on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on
Wednesday.
The former governor of Imo state said he would formally
declare his intention at a world press conference in Abuja on January 31.
Okorocha first made an attempt at the presidency about 20
years ago on the platform of the now defunct All Nigerians Peoples Party
(ANPP).
In 2007, he aspired to clinch the ticket of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) but lost to the late former President Umaru Yar’Adua
Okorocha has joined the growing list of presidential
aspirants in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bola Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, and David Umahi,
Ebonyi governor, have declared their intention to run for the highest office in
the land.
Orji Uzor Kalu, senate whip, said he would run if the APC
zoned the ticket to the south-east.
