But I am determined to help strengthen the electoral process both in Nigeria and across the region, where several ECOWAS members go to the polls this year,” he said.The emphasis on leaving office in 2023 is to clarify the speculation that there are underground moves to secure a third term for him after the completion of his current last term in 2023.   President Buhari also itemised what his regime had done since 2015 and would do in the years ahead to improve power supply, build roads/houses for Nigerians, develop agriculture, diversify the economy, create jobs, combat terrorism and promote democracy.The post I will stand down in 2023 and wont contest in any future elections - President Buhari appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
