 The President of the Senator Ahmad Lawan has joined the race for the 2023 presidency on the platform of the All Progressive Congress APC. Lawan made the formal declaration in Abuja when a group of concerned Nigerians known as National Stability Project presented the expression of interest and nomination forms to him. While receiving the forms, Lawan said that even though he was joining late, he would play the game by the rules. Will bless us, bless this movement and this journey, and I want to appeal to all Nigerians that we are seriously committed to taking Nigeria to the next level from where it is today or where it will be on the 29th of May 2023 and it will be at a very solid point and ground at that time, needing only to be improved and consolidated. And in a related development, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Timmy Prey Silver, and Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade have also obtained their nomination and expression of interest forms in Abuja ahead of Tuesday's deadline for the sale of nomination, for the sale of the forms. The International Conference Center Abuja was a dog with activities of several aspirants vying for various electoral offices torn to the venue to obtain their forms at the last minute.
