Dave Umahi, governor of Ebonyi, says he has informed President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to contest the presidency in the 2023 general election.
The governor disclosed this to state house correspondents on Tuesday after a meeting with Buhari.
Umahi’s visit to Buhari comes hours after Bola Tinubu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he had informed the president of his intention to contest the presidency.
According to Umahi, the president told him to consult widely.
