A 102-year-old woman, Nonye Josephine Ezeanyaeche, has declared bid to run for presidency in 2023.

Ezeanyaeche, who is also called ā€˜living legendā€™ or ā€œMama Africaā€™, hails from Aguata, Anambra state and is the founder of the ā€˜Voice for Senior Citizens of Nigeriaā€™ group.

The centenarian has expressed readiness to vie for the highest office in the land if the younger generations of the country are not ready.

Caro Nwosu, president of the group who spoke on behalf of Ezeanyaeche was quoted by Sahara Reporters as saying;

ā€œIf Nigerians are shying away from political participation, she says she is ready to contest. She has already prepared a manifesto for herself. She has the vision. If the good ones donā€™t come out to contestā€¦ā€

The aged woman acknowledged Nwosuā€™s statement as she said in Igbo; ā€œIf you have a male or female child, try to train them to surpass your own achievements.ā€

She is said to have received many awards for her contributions to humanity and nation-building, including the African Peace Award, 2021.
