Peter Obi discloses the ‘only condition’ for him to run for president in 2023

Former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi has disclosed that he will be running for president if his party zones the ticket to the south.

This was disclosed on Tuesday via a tweet by Obi who joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket in 2019 as Atiku Abubakar’s running mate.

“Yes, I will step into the field to contest for the opportunity to serve this great country as President if my party, the PDP, zones the ticket to the south,” he wrote on Twitter. “But if it is thrown open, Nigerians will also hear from me”.

Obi’s announcement is coming less than 24 hours after Aminu Tambuwal, the governor of Sokoto state, also declared his intention to run for president under the umbrella of the PDP.

In 2020, Obi said he was not a part of the poster being circulated that he would be running alongside Rabiu Kwankwaso, former governor of Kano state.
