“The people are calling on him to run for president but he has not come out clearly to tell us whether he is accepting that clarion call or not.

“All over the six zones, we are having a lot of people calling on him to come and run. If you look at the people calling on him, it cuts across all parties and is not just an APC thing.

“He is a unifier. He is very capable and qualified, he perfectly fits into that bracket of what Nigeria wants.”

“He has shown that the youth can provide quality leadership in Nigeria.

“In Kogi, we have diverse ethnic groups which were not unified; there was the challenge of insecurity and underdevelopment, but he came in 2016 and was able to unite the state.

“When you look at the economy, he has been able to inject a lot of dynamism into the economic management of the state and we are also looking into agriculture.

“When you look at the challenges of Nigeria – lack of unity, insecurity, economic diversification – he has the answer to them."

Ahead of the 2023 Presidential elections, there have been rumours and prediction on top politicians that will be contesting for the highest political office in the country.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan and former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu top the list of politicians most likely to contest for the Presidency seat in 2023.
