Why I’m running for second term — Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has formally announced his intention to seek a second term in 2019.

The president made his plan known to the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress.

President Buhari made the declaration Monday at a closed-door meeting of the National Executive Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The President said he was responding to the clamour by Nigerians to re-contest in 2019, adding that he wanted to give NEC the honour of notifying them first.

Buhari announced his second term bid in the presence of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Bukola Saraki, House of Representatives Speaker Yakubu Dogara, APC Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun and the National Working Committee of the party as well as governors and state chairmen of the party.
