President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday said he was not afraid of free and fair elections in 2019.

Also, the President faulted the Nigerian media reportage of the farmers, harders clashes in the country, saying the coverage had been largely uninformed.

He said as a beneficiary of credible elections, he would ensure that his administration organised free and fair elections.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President said this in Beijing during an interactive session he had with members of the Nigerian community in China.

Buhari is in the Asian country to participate in the 7th Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation scheduled to hold from September 3 to 4 in Beijing.

The President promised that he would ensure that the 2019 polls, under his watch, would be free, fair and credible.

He pledged that the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agents would allow Nigerians eligible to vote in the next general elections to freely elect candidates of their choice.

Buhari said, “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 the Presidency).

“Those interested in participating in the elections must get their PVCs, register in their constituencies and elect anybody of their choice across ethnicity and religion.

“The Nigerian police, law enforcement agencies and INEC must respect the right of the people to express their wishes.”

Citing recent elections in Bauchi, Katsina and Kogi states, the President said the country had made progress when compared to elections conducted in the past years.

On security issues, the President reaffirmed that his government had succeeded in curtailing Boko Haram insurgents in the country
