Nigeria's President Buhari Hints at Running for 2019 Elections

President Muhammadu Buhari, in an interactive session with the Nigerian community in Cote d'Ivoire, said he had to wait for Governors Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom and Mohammed Abubakar of Bauchi to accompany him to the meeting because of their electoral value, saying "when you are going to meet other Nigerians, if you tell them that their governors were in the company of the president, I think that will be another vote for me in the future".
