“I believe in the will of the people, and I cannot, therefore, put pressure on voters to elect leaders they don’t like,” Buhari said in a statement by presidential spokesman Garba Shehu.
The president appealed to voters to vote for the candidates they believe will deliver on promises because it is part of their “constitutionally guaranteed democratic rights.” The President assured Nigerians that he is ready to work with elected representatives of the people regardless of party platforms on which they are elected.
“I was deeply overwhelmed by your show of incredible confidence in me, and I will never let you down. Thank you for your sincere show of support for me.”
