He went on to reference the failed ambition of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to run for a third term in office.
“Another term for me? No! The first person who tried it didn’t end very well,” the special adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, quoted him to have said at the meeting.
