I Cannot Seek A 3rd Term In Office At My Age – Buhari

BuharinewPresident Muhamadu Buhari has come out to say that he will not make the error of seeking a 3rd term in office.

Buhari revealed this as he spoke at the opening of the ongoing National Executive Council meeting of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja on Friday, November 22, 2019.

According to PMB, the constitution allows 2 terms and he does not plan to go beyond that.

He added that age is not even on his side if he wanted to.

His words, “I’m not going to make the mistake of attempting a third term. Besides the age, the constitution makes provision for only two terms.”

We agree.
