The former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has withdrawn from the 2023 presidential race.
Naija News recalls that the former Edo State Governor had announced his intention to represent Edo North Senatorial District in the National Assembly.
On the occasion of his 70th birthday in Edo in April, Oshiomhole had promised to ensure that the people of the senatorial district are well catered for if elected in 2023.

Meanwhile, Oshiomole was not listed among APC…
