Although he has yet to inform President Muhammadu Buhari, the Minister added that he was “qualified” to be President.

He claims that some Nigerians have asked him to run, including a former Inspector-General of Police.

Mr Ngige said he wasn’t running based on regional sentiments, despite speculation of a South-East presidency.

He stated, “If I’m going to run, I’m not going to run because I’m Igbo.” “I will run as Chris Nwabueze Ngige, a Nigerian citizen from Anambra State, and from the Idemilli South local government and the town of Alor in Anambra State.
