"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...."The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, says he will soon commence consultation on joining the 2023 presidential race on the platform of the ruling party APC.
Mr Sylva said he will give the support group his response after consultation with stakeholders, including Edwin Clark, an Ijaw leader. “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,” he said.
“We picked this presidential nomination forms to surprise the Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva, to contest for the presidency of this country, which we found him capable to do. We are his fans from the Northern part of Nigeria,” he said.
