President Muhammedu Buhari, has assured Nigerians that no amount of pressure, persuasion and clamour from his supporters will make him to attempt contesting for third term in 2023.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, he promised to abide by the constitutional stipulation of second term.
He also pleaded with the party faithfuls to ensure that the ruling party fields the best candidate that will ensure that APC retains power after his exist, assuring that he will handover to whoever wins the election in 2023.
The president further warned the party members that history will not forgive them if the APC collapses after his exist, urging them to reposition themselves to dominate their constituencies.
President Buhari said “The crisis in Edo will be brought under control. I’ve mandated the National Chairman to put his home in order and ensure that the Governor who have served one term is supported to serve his second. Where there are grievances, I’ve also spoken with the Governor to give room for reconciliation so that we don’t give PDP advantage in the state we already have control.”
