The Minister of Niger Delta, Godswill Akpabio, is the latest entrant into the race for Nigeria’s presidency in 2023.
Akpabio threw his heart in the ring at the Ikot Ekpene Township Stadium, Akwa Ibom state, on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.
He’s set to run on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), joining a long list of other aspirants jostling for the ticket of the party.

During his declaration speech, the governor pledged to “retool the Armed Forces and security agencies”.
