The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele, on Friday, formally joined the 2023 presidential race.
Mr Emefiele picked the expression of interest and nomination forms to contest the presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The CBN governor picked the N100 million forms from the party’s organising secretary at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja, on Friday morning.
This development ended months of speculations on his intention to takeover from President Muhammadu Buhari.
Emefiele was appointed CBN governor in February 2014 by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He was reappointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
