Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday stated that as a beneficiary of free and fair election, he is not afraid of a credible process in the country’s general elections slated for 2019.
According to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the president made the statement while speaking during an interactive session with members of the Nigerian community in China.
While re-affirming his commitment to ensuring that the 2019 polls were free, fair and credible, Buhari said Nigerians eligible to vote would be allowed to freely elect candidates of their choice.
“I have no fear about free and fair elections because that is what brought me to the present position. I know what I went through and very few Nigerians could boast of trying four times.
“Those interested in participating in the elections must get their PVCs, register in their constituency and elect anybody of their choice across ethnicity and religion.
“The Nigeria Police, law enforcement agencies and INEC must respect the people to express their wishes,” the statement quoted Buhari as saying.
