Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou has tendered a quit notice with strong signals he is ready to leave office at his term of office expiration in 2021.
Niger’s ruling party, Nigerian Party for Democracy and Socialism, PNDS, in a move to retain power at the 2021 polls have adopted the interior minister, Mohamed Bazoum as its next presidential candidate.
In acceptance, Mr Bazoum “paid tribute” to the current president and praised him for respecting the two-term limit as mandated by the constitution.
