President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday appealed to Governors elected under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to allow him to pick the next leader for Nigeria.
Naija News understands that Buhari is in the last lap of his second tenure and Nigerians would have to decide the fate of the nation in the 2023 general elections.
Speaking, however, today ahead of the ruling party’s presidential primaries, President Buhari asked that he should be allowed to pick his successor.
The number one citizen made the request in his address during a meeting with the APC Governors today in Abuja, Naija News understands. 
President Buhari said state governors were given the opportunity to pick their successor, hence he should be given the same privilege at the federal level.
“In keeping with the established internal policies of the Party and as we approach the Convention in a few days, therefore, I wish to solicit the reciprocity and support of the Governors and other stakeholders in picking my successor, who would fly the flag of our party for election into the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.
“We gave governors re-election tickets or opportunity to pick their successors; allow me pick my successor,” he was quoted to have said during the meeting.
