President Muhammadu Buhari has said that 2023 General Elections will be transparent, and that money bags will not be allowed to influence its outcome. He added that Nigerians will appreciate the All progressives Congress-led government of the country in the next six months.
The President, who received members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum led by its Chairman and Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, stated this at the State House on Tuesday, where he also noted that there would be non-interference in the 2023 elections.
Buhari said Nigerians would be allowed to vote for who they wanted.
He said, “I want Nigerians to know that we respect them and for us to show that we will allow them to vote who they want.”
He expressed confidence that flowing from the elections in Ekiti and Osun states, the 2023 elections would also be transparent.
“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,” Buhari said.
President Buhari also pledged that his administration would not create any room for the money bags to use any form of intimidation, be it materially, morally or physically to influence in the general election.
“We will not allow anyone to use personal resources or their influence to intimidate other Nigerians. We will not allow intimidation 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 the APC that we are sincere and we respect them.”
