Several reactions have trailed the presidential declaration of the former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi.

Naija News earlier reported that the former vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) declared interest to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Obi declared his ambition while addressing traditional rulers at the Anambra State Government conference hall Agu- Awka, Anambra State.

According to Peter Obi, his decision to declare his ambition before traditional rulers was done to get royal blessings.

The former Anambra Governor said Nigeria is at the lowest ebb and needed somebody like him to move it forward.

While stating that he is in the presidential race to move Nigeria forward, Peter Obi insisted that he believes strongly in one united Nigeria.

Reacting to Obi’s presidential declaration, Nigerians took to Twitter to express their views regarding the development.
