“Beside the age, I swore by the holy book that I would go by the constitution and the constitution said two terms. I know that I’m in my last term and I can afford to be reckless because I’m not going to ask for anybody’s vote,” the president was quoted to have said.
Meanwhile, Buhari called on APC leaders to ensure they remain politically relevant and dominate in their constituencies because history will not be kind to them all if the party collapses after the current administration.
