Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, H.E Chief Timipre Sylva, has declared his intention to contest for the flag-bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
Some Nigerians particularly those from the northern part of the country, picked a nomination form for the Minister to contest for the flag-bearer of APC ahead of the 2023 presidential elections.
Responding to the call on Twitter, he said: “I am most grateful, honoured and humbled by the patriotism and commitment to our dearly beloved country, Nigeria, shown by the Nigerians from all walks of life who, today, took the trouble of obtaining the APC Presidential nomination and expression of interest forms for me.”
Chief Timipre noted in a post that he would consult widely before making a final decision.
On Tuesday, Chief Timipre Sylvia wrote: “In fulfillment of my promise to consult widely before returning to supporters with a definite answer to their calls for me to succeed my boss, I presented my nomination and expression of interest forms to the leader of the Ijaw Nation, Pa E. K. Clark for his blessings.”
