The meeting is meant to ‘’notify Ndi Igwe Anambra State of his intention to contest the for president of the Federal Republic of NIGERIA,’’ according to an electronic message sent to all monarchs in the state.

Obi’s measured declaration for the Presidency in 2023 comes just as his colleague, the former Vice President and PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2019 general election Atiku Abubakar, declared intention to run on Wednesday.
