Cross River Governor Ben Ayade has joined the list of presidential aspirants on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

Ayade disclosed his decision to State House Correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari<\/a> in his office at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, stating that he was actually asked to join the race by the President.<\/p>\n

The Governor also said he would be flexible with his quest for the APC\u2019s presidential ticket, explaining that he would be subject to whatever decision the party and support any person settled for as the flag-bearer.<\/p>\n

Asked to react to unconfirmed report that the APC might present former President, Goodluck Jonathan, as the sole candidate for the 2023 presidential election, he said: \u201cI have great respect for President Jonathan and so I have no challenges whatsoever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have great respect for President Jonathan so I have no challenges whatsoever. I believe that the party leadership will decide the appropriate candidate that will take our party to victory and so if you heard me well, I am just part of the family, absolutely loyal to the President, seeking to run for president and I\u2019m running.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt any point in time the political leadership of my party, the APC, feels that President Jonathan is the appropriate candidate that will take us to victory, I will turn my support for him. I am never ever going to fight the establishment, the institution, the aristocracy, the spiritual vortex of which God has placed a leader on the country, I will never question the powers of the leader of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never played the politics of antagonism or fights. If you know how I became governor, I became governor by offering to support whoever the governor wants.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy a stroke of luck, I became the candidate. The same token\u2026 I\u2019m only here to support the President\u2019s candidate and by a stroke of luck he said you to go there and join the race,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
