Former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, will announce his intention to contest the presidency on Wednesday.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, by Victor Oshioke, media aide to Adams Oshiomhole, he said the former Edo governor will make an official declaration at 3pm at the Cyprian Ekwensi Centre for Arts and Culture in Abuja.
According to Oshioke, the event was scheduled to hold on an earlier date, but was later postponed for further consultations.
Part of the statement reads, “The formal declaration of Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole to contest for the office of President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, in the 2023 general election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress which was postponed has now been rescheduled, after extensive consultations.
“We apologise for the short notice and hope that your love for Comrade Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole will motivate you to attend, irrespective of any unforeseen constraints.”
Recall that Oshiomhole had declared his interest in contesting for a seat in the senate during an event to mark his birthday in April, where he expressed his intention to represent Edo north in the upper legislative chamber in the 2023 polls.
Meanwhile, Francis Alimikhena, the senator currently representing the constituency, has purchased his nomination and expression of interest forms to contest for the senate seat in the 2023 general election.
