President
Muhammadu Buhari Sunday in Beijing said that as a beneficiary of free and fair
elections, he is not afraid of a credible process in 2019.
To this effect, the president reaffirmed his
commitment to making sure that the 2019 polls, under his watch, will be free,
fair and credible.
Speaking at an interactive session with members
of the Nigerian community in China, the president pledged that Nigerians
eligible to vote in the next general elections will be allowed to freely elect
candidates of their choice.
‘‘I have no fear about free and fair elections
because that is what brought me to the present position. I know what I went
through and very few Nigerians could boast of trying four times [contesting for
the presidency].
‘‘Those interested in participating in the
elections must get their PVCs, register in their constituency and elect anybody
of their choice across ethnicity and religion.
‘‘The Nigerian police, law enforcement agencies
and INEC must respect the people to express their wishes,’’ he said.
