We must believe in INEC – Buhari
President Buhari further urged Nigerians to believe in the capacity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct free, fair and credible elections.
The commission came under fire after it controversially rescheduled the elections hours to its initially-scheduled February 16 commencement.
Despite the outrage, Buhari said Nigerians must cast public doubt aside and believe the commission will rise to the occasion.
“According to the daily INEC public briefings given this week, the Electoral Commission says it is ready and fully prepared to conduct the election in a free, fair and transparent manner.
“I believe INEC realises the profound and weighty duty that rests upon it.
“We must cast aside doubt and have faith that INEC will rise to the occasion. We must believe and encourage INEC to fulfill and honour this responsibility it owes to our country,” he said.
A total of 72,775,502 Nigerians have permanent voters’ cards (PVC) to take part in tomorrow’s elections and the Governorship and State House of Assembly elections scheduled for March 9.
