A former President of the Senate, Senator Ken Nnamani, on Monday, has announced his decision to withdraw from the presidential race of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Nnamani made this disclosure while addressing members of the press in Abuja on Monday.

He hinged the decision on the lack of opportunity to market himself to the APC and Nigerians at large.

In his words, “In the present circumstances, it does not make any sense for me to continue in the race as I have not had the opportunity to market my profile and ideas to the delegates of our party in a manner that allows for deliberation and introspection.

“Therefore, I discontinue my aspiration and wish the party a successful primary and unity of purpose so that we can win the 2023 general elections.

“I will continue to engage with the party and its leadership to make sure that the ideas and values that I cherish and propagate find a strong footing in the party administration and in public leadership after the election.”
