More than 24 hours after one of his well-known allies asked him to pick his possible successor, an aide of President Muhammadu Buhari has said the Nigerian leader is not interested in doing so. “The president will not pick a successor if you know him,” Buhari’s media adviser Femi Adesina said on Channels on Monday night. He told News Agency of Nigeria last March that he would like to succeed Buhari in 2023. I am just waiting for President Buhari to finish his tenure (in 2023). In that sermon, he categorically predicted that would succeed Buhari as Nigerian president.
