The president noted that he was a firm believer in transparent, free, fair and credible elections, adding that he would ensure that the country gets it right before he leaves office.
President Buhari said:
“The recent build-up and eventual outcome of the Edo state elections should encourage Nigerians that it is my commitment to bequeath to this country processes and procedures that would guarantee that the people’s votes count.
“The problems with our electoral process are mainly human-induced as the desperate desire for power leads to desperate attempts to gain power and office.
He further stated:
“It is necessary to, therefore support the enthronement of the rule of law by avoiding actions which compromise the judiciary. Fellow Nigerians, our history has shown that we are a people that have the capacity to live peacefully with one another.”
