Recall that President Buhari, at a recent National Executive Committee meeting of the APC, announced his intention to seek a second term in office as the president of the federal republic of Nigeria.

Buhari also, during a bilateral meeting with British Prime Minister, Theresa May in London, declared that unlike other politicians, he was less concerned about the 2019 electioneering campaigns, but would rather focus on tackling and resolving issues facing the country.
