Groups of supporters have presented the All Progressives Congress’ nomination and expression of interest forms to Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva.
Gatekeepers News reports that The group procured the forms and presented them to Mr Sylva at the NNPC Towers in Abuja.
Sylva says he will soon commence consultation on joining the 2023 presidential race on the platform of the ruling party APC.
Sylva while speaking during the presentation, said he is yet to consult people on a possible entry into the already crowded presidential race.
Sylva said he will give the support group his response after consultation with stakeholders, including Edwin Clark, an Ijaw leader.
Sylva said, “To realise that my efforts have been noticed by you Nigerians and that you Nigerians by yourself will go and take the trouble of obtaining the nomination and the expression of interest forms for me is very humbling and I must also say very shocking at the same time.
“But I’m very happy and pleased by this gesture. So what I will do now, I will not give you a straight answer right now.
“But I’m really thankful for what you have done because I need to consult my constituency and consult leaders of this country and then I’ll come back to you to let you know if I have taken the position also to run for this office.”
