Nnamani said: “In the present circumstances, it does not make any sense for me to continue in the 2023 presidential race as I have not had the opportunity to market my profile and ideas to the delegates of our party in a manner that allows for deliberation and introspection.

“Therefore, I discontinue my aspiration and wish the party a successful primary and unity of purpose so that we can win the 2023 general elections.”
