Breaking: Peter Obi Declares For Presidency; Informs Anambra Royal Fathers

By Charles Igbo

Former two-term Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has formally declared his ambition to run for the office  of the President in 2023.

Keeping to the saying that “charity begins at home”, Obi formally informed the Royal Fathers of Anambra State, Thursday, March 24, 2022, of his ambition.

Addressing them, Obi thanked them for their roles in their various communities, and said he thought it expedient to, first, tell them, as his Royal Fathers, of his ambition to aspire to the office of the President of Nigeria in 2023.

He sought for their blessings.

As soon as he said that, shouts of “okwuteeee, okwuteeee” (the rock, the rock) rent the air in jubilation.

Obi was the Vice Presidential candidate to Atiku Abubakar, in 2019, under the banner of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

By declaring his interest, Obi has succumbed to the intense pressure on him, from different quarters, to throw in the hat into the ring.
