“I am humbled by the growing interest of those asking that I run for the Office of President in the 2023 general elections; I have not come to that decision.

I am withdrawing under the same principles as Emefiele – Someone that never declared, yet was tagged as ‘Withdrawn' from Presidential race.
Why am I surprised, didn't social media also tag him 'Minister’of CBN and sack him?
