BREAKING NEWS: President Buhari Tells UK Prime Minister His Position On Contesting For A Third Term
President Muhammadu Buhari has declared he is not interested in seeking a third term in office as the country’s leader.
During the meeting, Johnson had asked Buhari categorically if he would be seeking another term in office as the President of Nigeria.
Responding, the Nigerian President declared that he is not interested.
He went on to reference the failed ambition of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to run for a third term in office.
“Another term for me? No! The first person who tried it didn’t end very well,” the special adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted him to have said at the meeting.
TrackNews reports the Nigerian constitution provides a maximum limit of two terms for a democratically elected President.
Buhari was first elected in 2015 and got re-elected in 2019. He would complete his tenure in May 2023.
