team.

confirmed his intention when he and his campaign team arrived at the
venue of the convention with banners and customized dresses.

taking powers; that one in Buhari’s hand. I will take it. I’m going
straight to that villa. I’m the next president.
“I want to be the
next president of Nigeria. My own won’t be this change that has brought
nothing, we are going to represent the people well and tell them the
truth.’’
