The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said on Wednesday that the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was neither favouring nor disfavouring any presidential candidate ahead of the February 25 election.
“The second example I will give is this currency redesign. You have to understand the President. People are blaming the Governor of the Central Bank for the currency redesign, but No. You have to go back and look at the first outing of Buhari as President.
Reacting, the information minister said Buhari was focused on delivering free and fair elections to Nigerians and not disfavouring or favouring any candidate in the election. “I think he has shown by words and deed that he is committed to a free, fair and credible election. And fair, free and credible elections mean not favouring or disfavouring anybody.”
