According to Buhari, Obasanjo’s endorsement brings votes, support, and confidence to presidential candidates.

He Is Jealous And Frustrated

The position of the presidency was contained in a statement by the senior special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on media and publicity, Garba Shehu.
