The Governor of Cross River, Ben Ayade has said he will run for president in 2023 if the All Progressives Congress (APC) considers him.

“I think the party should take a decision based on zoning principles which would be resolved as a party.

“Let me say, yes and no. If the family (APC) finds that I am fit and proper, yes. If the family finds that there is a better option and that option fits into the zoning (arrangement), of course, I will stand by the party’s position.

“I am a conformist; I stand with the system. I have never been an aberrant. I work with the system,” Ayade said.
