The President whose tenure will elapse in 17 months also warned the leadership of his that the opposition could take over if it fails to hold its Convention within the specified period.
Buhari in an interview with the National Television Authority, NTA, which was aired on Thursday evening asserted that the APC must work within the timeframe available, determine a substantive leadership, and chart its course ahead of the 2023 elections; otherwise, it risks being displaced by the opposition.
