The governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, has formally announced his intention to run for the office of the president of Nigeria.
Mr Emefiele announced this at the State House, Abuja, after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
He told State House journalists that he would leave the villa to pick his N100 million nomination form of the ruling party, APC.
Some groups had been drumming support for Mr Emefiele to join the presidential race, a move which has been criticized by many Nigerians.
