President Muhammadu Buhari has restated his administration’s resolve to conduct free and credible elections in 2023.
Buhari added that his government will give the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the free hand to conduct the exercise.
The President gave this reassurance on Wednesday during a meeting with representatives of Nigerians living in Portugal, a statement by his spokesman, Garba Shehu said.
‘‘We also look forward to a smooth transition to the next government.
“As I have said before, our Administration will not compromise on doing the right things and the welfare of Nigerians, home and abroad.’’
The President referenced the governorship elections in Anambra and Ekiti states as proof that his administration has zero tolerance for interference in elections, maintaining that Nigerians should be allowed to vote for people of their choice.
