President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly reappointed his Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the Director-General of his 2019 election campaign.

According to THISDAY, Buhari may have finally made the decision to seek re-election and has started preparing to campaign.

The President has hinted at contesting a few times in the past, but is refusing to share his aspirations with many people.

He has, however, discussed the matter with Amaechi, who had convinced him to run in 2015.

Sources close to the All Progressives Congress (APC), also hinted that although a majority of party members are not averse to Buhari’s re-election bid, they have advised that things be done properly.
