President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his determination to give Nigeria an electoral system that meets with best practices anywhere in the world. President Buhari spoke on Tuesday at State House, Abuja, while meeting with Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, other top officials of the electoral body, and the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.

The president said with a minimum of 28 rerun and by-elections this January alone, the commission should ensure that the game is played by the rules, without fear or favour. He charged the electoral umpire to stick to the rules of fair play and adherence to justice in line with resolve to engender a free, fair and credible electoral process.

“Those that you declare as winners must be the candidates that the people have chosen. Democracy is about free will, and the will of the people must be allowed to prevail. Get your acts right, and leave no room for underhand tricks or manipulation,” he said in a statement issued by his media aide, Femi Adesina. President Buhari said he expected nothing than a scrupulous securing of the electoral process, without bias or favouritism from the Nigerian Police Force. “Our elections must be done in violence-free atmosphere.

The process must be free, fair, decent, devoid of intimidation or malpractices. It is the duty of the police to accomplish that, and it is what I expect in the elections immediately ahead, and going forward,” he said. Both INEC and the police promised a fidelity to the rules and regulations, stating that they know President Buhari as someone passionately committed to fair play.

Bloody hypocrite! It's confirmed.This tyrannt does not know any pim about all the speeches the cabal always write for him to read.Otherwise he should always think correctly before talking because most of his utterances are self-indicting.

The 2019 elections esp.the Kogi guber were the worst yet this man adjudged them fair and even said it's a sign of maturing democracy.

Nonsense. Na So him declare shoot at sight before presidential elections last year but Tinubu boys dey Lagos dey scatter polling units nobody stop them. I don't like seeing Buhari & Tinubu. They disgust me. Shameless old men.

Mr President, you are not the choice of the majority too but you are there.

You cannot deceive us with mere words

As if he was ever the choice of Nigerians.

When you have forced your way to become president.

Tinubu hope you are hearing it loud and clear.

Mr Preacher!

If you let us elect our choice in the presidential election, you wouldn't be president today.

They pretend to stand for justice in public but go behind the door to instruct INEC to deliver APC or be complicit in the nefarious acts some APC candidates carry out to win election.

Bloody hypocrites.

This only goes to prove this man has no idea what's going on

I no dey wan hear this boko haram talk...e talk na opposite and up and down

First Atiku can't win PMB, he does not have the love Buhari had.

Secondly people are tired of PDP

Thirdly NW have up to 25% of Nigerians population with Katsina, Kano, kaduna etc having highest voters,

In a free and fair election, I think PMB will win Atiku and APC will win PDP.

PDP can't win 2023 except they bring a transparent candidate like Peter Obi, but with the recent division, I doubt Obi will win, Amaechi or Tinubu will win him anyday

That I could believe but PMB is not rigging election, others like Tinubu, Amaechi, Oshiomole etc are the riggers

Indirectly making a mockery of the police and our electoral system together with our joke of a country.

Is this not an indictment on his own election and that of Yayaha bello where the INEC in cahoots with the military ,police and thugs subverted the will of Nigerians

Here goes the hypocrite of the century.
