ABUJA, Oct 7, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari will
run for a second term in polls scheduled for February 2019 after his ruling
All Progressives Congress (APC) party endorsed his candidacy on Saturday.
As the party’s sole contender, his confirmation by some 7,000 delegates
gathered in the capital Abuja was a mere formality.
Next year’s presidential race appears to have tightened in recent months
with the APC hit by a wave of defections over the leadership style of the 75-
year-old former military ruler.
