Obi, the vice-presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 election had recently tweeted that he is willing to run for President if his party, the PDP zones the ticket to the South, and he has been trending on Twitter since then.

“Yes, I will step into the field to contest for the opportunity to serve this great country as President if my party, the PDP, zones the ticket to the south. But if it is thrown open, Nigerians will also hear from me,” he wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, February 1,” he said.

Moghalu, on the other hand, was the presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in 2019 and lost to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of APC. Moghalu said he will recontest the presidential election in 2023.
