Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has declared that he will run for president in 2023.
Umahi made his intention known to reporters on Tuesday after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at Aso Rock Villa Abuja, saying his presidency will replicate his progressive efforts in Ebonyi at the national level.
This comes 24 hours after former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also indicated interest in the race.
Both men are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Umahi said President Buhari responded to his interest by asking him to seek the support of the people.
