The Vice President said the president is focused on delivering on his campaign promises first.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari currently has no interest in a re-election bid as he's focused on governance.
The Vice President disclosed this while speaking at the just concluded World Economic Foum (WEF) 2018 hosted in Davos, Switzerland.
He said, ''The President has said that he is entirely focused on this term, he wants to ensure that he is able to deliver on as much as possible the promises that has been made.
"So he is completely focused. In our government we are not talking about 2019."
Buhari's reelection status
While the president has refused to officially declare his intention to seek reelection in 2019, he has flirted around the topic in recent months.
While meeting with the Nigerian community in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire in November 2017, the president explained that he was accompanied to the meeting by two state governors because it will "be another vote for me in the future."
Also, while speaking during a two-day visit to Kano State a week later, the president said he's confident of winning reelection particularly due to the crowd turnout.
"I am overwhelmed by the sea of people I see, and by what I see today, if elections are contested I will no doubt win it," he said.
Hours after media reports indicated that Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi had been reappointed as Buhari's national campaign coordinator on January 3, the Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu, told journalists in the State House that the campaign for Buhari's reelection has officially taken off in the southwest region.
