The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has declared his intention to run for president on the party’s platform in 2023.
Oshiomhole, who is a former governor of Edo State, formally made his presidential declaration on Wednesday at the Cyprian Ekwensi Centre for Arts and Culture, Area 10, Abuja.
The former APC chairman had earlier declared to contest the Edo North Senatorial District election.
While unveiling his presidential ambition, he said he will address the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) problem if elected.
Oshiomhole said his plan is to make Nigeria the ‘smartest’ country in Africa.
“I want Nigeria to be described as the smartest country on the continent under my presidency,” he said.
