What Buhari means by “Allow me pick my successor”
As the ruling APC prepares for its primary on the weekend,, President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the Progresssive Governors Forum to cut him some slack in choosing the party’s flagbearer.
The president made the request in his address during a meeting with the Progressives Governors Forum in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to Buhari, the state governors were given the opportunity to pick their successor, asking them to allow him do same at the federal level.
Buhari said, “In keeping with the established internal policies of the Party and as we approach the Convention in a few days, therefore, I wish to solicit the reciprocity and support of the Governors and other stakeholders in picking my successor, who would fly the flag of our party for election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.
“We gave governors re-election tickets or opportunity to pick their successors; allow me pick my successor.
The main contenders to the party tickets are the APC national leader Bola Tinubu and V.P Yemi Osinbajo.
But it is not clear yet whom the president will choose.
