LAGOS, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari will seek re-election in 2019, a top aide said on Friday.
Speaking in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, at a rally, Boss Mustapha, secretary to the Government of the Federation, said Buhari has transformed and changed the image of leadership of the country both locally and internationally.
Mustapha, who became the presidency's top official to speak on Buhari and 2019, told the rally that other aspirants showing interest in the job have nothing to offer.
Buhari has not officially announced his interest in contesting again, but several groups have been urging him to run.
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo, in a special press statement last month, advised Buhari not to run.
Obasanjo has since been galvanizing the Coalition of Nigeria Movement, which is expected to transform into a party before the elections.
Minister of Communications Adebayo Shittu, after a meeting with Buhari on Jan. 3, said he was sure Buhari would run.
Nigeria is scheduled to hold general elections in February 2019.
