Minister of Science and Technology, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu has entered the race for the presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, declaring that Nigeria can no longer look to foreign countries for its salvation.

I most respectfully ask my political party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), to elect me as its Presidential Candidate, and the people of Nigeria to elect me as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for me to be the chief servant of the nation”, he declared.
