Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has declared his intention to run for president on the party’s platform.
Mr Oshiomhole, a former governor of Edo State, formally joined the presidential race on Wednesday at the Cyprian Ekwensi Centre for Arts and Culture, Area 10, Abuja.
He had earlier declared to contest Edo North Senatorial District election.
Before then, he attended the formal declaration of the Transportation Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, for president in April.
According to premium Times While unveiling his ambition, Mr Oshiomhole said despite the efforts of the President Buhari-led administration, the economy remains an unresolved issue.
He said poverty, insecurity and unemployment are interrelated, saying one does not have to be a professor to know poverty, unemployment breeds insecurity.
He also said he will address the lingering Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) problem in order to maintain the academic calendar.
Mr Oshiomhole said his plan is to make Nigeria the ‘smartest’ country in Africa.
