Mr Buhari will round off his second term in office next year and is not constitutionally eligible to contest again.

President Muhammadu Buhari was non-committal when asked if he has a ‘favourite’ candidate within his party to succeed him.

The president said though he has no favourite, such a person ‘may be eliminated’ if he mentions his name. “No I wouldn’t because he may be eliminated if I mention. I better keep it secret,” Mr Buhari said when asked if he had a favourite within the APC to succeed him. Some of those believed to be interested in succeeding Mr Buhari within the APC are Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and ex-Lagos governor Bola Tinubu; although neither of them has publicly declared his interest to contest.
