President Buhari had yesterday, during the National Executive Council meeting of the APC made his intention to seek reelection public.
The president’s declaration has been receiving knocks and approvals from different political parties, governors amongst others.
Reacting to the recent development, Moghalu speaking to Punch said Buhari does not deserve a second term based on his poor performance.
Moghalu said, “I do not think he deserves to be re-elected based on an objective assessment of his failed performance.
