The Presidency has cautioned against the spewing of hate, incitement to violence and polarizing statements by some political leaders as some states brace up for supplementary elections prescribed by the National Electoral Commission, INEC. The Presidency also rejected criticisms of President Muhammadu Buhari’s apparent disinterest in the upcoming elections in some states by party members who wrongfully assume that the President will abuse power by changing results to favour them. Buhari’s position was contained in a statement to the media on Sunday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu. It added that “Past Presidents of Nigeria were known to interfere in inconclusive elections, and that is why party members appear to be upset that the same thing is not happening now, but President Buhari is a different kind of leader. “He swore to defend the constitution and will not veer off from that. “The constitution of Nigeria gives the President no such powers. It is unfair and ridiculous to criticise President Buhari for not going against the constitution. “Party members in states where there will be supplementary elections then need to be reminded that they need to work hard to earn their people’s votes, rather than expect President Buhari to manipulate INEC in their favour. “Interestingly, while members of the ruling APC party were criticising the President for not interfering on their behalf, members of the opposition were condemning the President based on their assumptions that he would definitely interfere, as many in the opposition did while in power. “Under President Buhari, INEC had been and will be completely independent throughout the elections, free from any interference. “President Buhari is a man of conviction, and the manipulation of election results goes against everything he stands for INEC is completely in charge.” |

If Buhari wants us to take him serious he should declare that he has rigged the recent election and there the mandate should be given to Atiku 2 Likes |
