Yul Edochie, who contested the November 2017 Anambra governorship election on the platform of the Democratic Peoples Congress (DPC) but joined the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, after he lost, made the announcement on his Instagram page.
He wrote:
“Today I declare my interest to run for President of the greatest country in the world, Nigeria. A blessed country that has been crippled by decades of bad leadership.
Enough is Enough! Fellow Nigerians, stand with me let us bring the problems of our country to the THE LAST BUS STOP!!!”
With his declaration for presidency, Yul Edochie is running against incumbent President Buhari, who he had advised not to run for re-election come 2019.
