Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari may have given clues that he will seek re-election in 2019.

The issue of whether Buhari will run for the 2019 presidency had been a subject of debate in the public, with political analysts insisting that his body language is in the affirmative, especially now that the president’s support groups are drumming support for him.

However, the president on Tuesday, November 28, in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire where he is attending the 5th European Union-African Union (EU-AU) Summit, gave a hint that suggests he would likely run for another term.

According to Premium Times, Buhari who arrived late to an interactive session with the Nigerian community in Cote d’Ivoire Tuesday night, told the gathering that he had to wait for the two governors to accompany him to the meeting because of their electoral value.
