It will be recalled that Okorocha had recently said he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

He made the declaration when a group of youths under the umbrella of ‘Forward with Anayo Rochas Okorocha (FOWARO 2023)’ visited him in Abuja.

While speaking with the group, Okorocha said he had been in the presidential race for over 20 years ago, adding that he had contested three times but failed at the primary level.

He expressed optimism that 2023 would be different, saying he is going to win.
