The Presidency has insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari is not interested in seeking third term in office.
A statement by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and publicity, Garba Shehu, said that President Buhari would leave office at the end of his second term in 2023.
He was reacting to media reports on presidential term limits.
He said the Presidency wishes to correct internet-based gossip and un-informed media commentary regarding presidential term limits, given credence by so-called support groups, staging street demonstrations asking President Muhammadu Buhari to do a third term.
Shehu said President Buhari intends to serve his full second elected term in office, ending 2023 – and then there shall be a general election in which he will not be a candidate.
