President Muhammadu Buhari has said that in six months, Nigerians will appreciate the All Progressives Congress (APC) led administration for giving them the freedom to vote for their choice.
Buhari stated this on Tuesday when he received members of Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) led by their Chairman and Governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, at the State House, Abuja.
He also noted that there would be non-interference in the 2023 elections, as Nigerians would be allowed to vote for who they want.
According to him, “In six months, Nigerians will appreciate the government of APC that we are sincere and we respect them.’’
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.
He further urged APC leaders to double their efforts in thinking and strategizing for the 2023 general elections.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the PGF thanked the President for his leadership, guided by wisdom and foresight, saying that the Nigerian economy had been growing, in spite of challenges.
