President Muhammadu Buhari has sent a warning to any presidential candidate who plans to rig the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Buhari made the degree at a conference with members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) headed by Chairman and Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, at the State House, Abuja.
The President noted that his regime will continue to endow strong political organisations that reflect their choices of absolute non-interference in elections.
He then cited the outcome of polls in Ekiti, Anambra, and Osun States as pointers to having a successful election.
“We will not allow anyone to use personal resources or their influence to intimidate other Nigerians. We will not allow intimidations materially, morally or physically. This is the kind of leadership that can emerge and consolidate our nation.
“In six months, Nigerians will appreciate the government of APC that we are sincere and we respect them.
“I want Nigerians to know that we respect them, and for us to show that we will allow them to vote who they want. We all witnessed what happened in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun States. What happened in those states gives me a lot of hope that we are succeeding.”
