The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term is an internal affairs of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a terse statement by the main opposition party on Monday, the party said it would not dissipate its energy on the president’s declaration until he becomes the governing party’s presidential candidate.
The statement signed by Kola Ologbondiyan, PDP National Publicity Secretary, pointed out that: “The declaration has placed President Buhari among the ranks of aspirants seeking to be the President of the Federal Republic, effective May 29, 2019.
“Until he becomes the candidate of the APC, we will not spend precious time on his mere show of interest”.
At the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Monday, President Buhari had declared his intention to seek reelection in the 2019 presidential election.
