Governor of Ekiti State and chairman of the Nigeria Govenrors Forum (NGF), Kayode Fayemi, on Wednesday, formally declared his intention to contest for the office of the President in the 2023 elections.
Fayemi also vowed to run a decent presidential campaign just as he said he would retool the armed forces and build on the infrastructural successes of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
Fayemi stated these while declaring for the 2023 presidency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
