President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has allayed the fears of his countrymen on his government’s commitment towards free and fair elections in 2023.
Buhari spoke during an interactive session with some Nigerians in Paris, France, as part of his visit to the country. He assured Nigerians of his willingness to put the people’s choice in order to have a peaceful nation.
According to him, he believe in free and fair elections, and he know the nature of some politicians to win power by hook or by crook.
In his words: “Free and fair election is a great concern. In the last elections, our party lost in some elections and it reflects our position of non-interference.
“Normally those in power will win by hook or by crook. We believe in free and fair elections. I have respect for Nigerians to choose their leaders. We have shown we respect our citizens by allowing them to choose their leaders.
“We gave instructions to security to deal with anyone who uses thugs to disrupt electoral processes. What I can assure you is that you can walk about and around with your head raised high that this administration is committed to a multi-party system.”
“Nigerians deserve respect. I have suffered before, so I know what it means. My duty is to serve Nigeria and Nigerians with all my heart. I assure that in spite of the ill luck, with a drop in resources, we will do our best,’
