Nigeria Election : Full Text Of President Buhari's National Broadcast by NaijaRoyalty(m): 7:32am On Feb 22, 2019 |
President Muhammadu Buhari, Friday morning urged Nigerians to take part in the general elections. He said in his national broadcast that Nigeria stands as a democracy and that no worldly hand can deter the country from this wise and fitting path. The address reads: “While democracy is the most beneficial way to select a nation’s leaders, it is far from the easiest thing to achieve and maintain. “It requires a combination of patience, tolerance, compassion, diligence, wisdom and hope. These traits exist in us the Nigerian people. Because of who we are, democracy has the chance to flourish in this land. “Thus, I commend all of you for your patience and peaceful conduct so far during this electoral season and especially during this intervening week following the postponement of the February 16 elections. “Many were worried and thought the worst might happen. You proved them wrong by showing that you are a great people with an abiding love for peace, democracy and the unity of our country. “According to the daily INEC public briefings given this week, the Electoral Commission says it is ready and fully prepared to conduct the election in a free, fair and transparent manner. “I believe INEC realises the profound and weighty duty that rests upon it. “We must cast aside doubt and have faith that INEC will rise to the occasion. We must believe and encourage INEC to fulfill and honour this responsibility it owes to our country. “As your President, I hereby ask all Nigerians with voting cards to participate in defining the future of our nation by exercising your democratic rights tomorrow. I urge you to go out and vote. “I say this because elections are the cornerstone of representative governance. And voting constitutes the highest and best expression of the sovereign will of the people to choose the government that best represents them. “It is only upon the freely expressed will of the people that government truly dedicated to the welfare, rights and interests of the people can be founded. “Do not allow anyone to discourage you from the exercise of your rights as citizens and voters tomorrow. “To vote means that you believe in Nigeria and the excellent things the future holds for this nation and its people. “No matter our political leanings, we all believe in Nigeria, in the noble principles for which it stands and in the values we strive for our beloved nation to uphold. “All who are able, must vote so that we may better perfect this democracy and continue to build the greater nation we seek. “Do not be afraid of rumours of violence and unrest. Our security agencies have worked diligently to ensure that adequate security measures are in place. “You will be able to vote in an atmosphere of openness and peace, devoid of fear from threat or intimidation. “International and domestic monitors and observers are assured of their safety and freedom of movement needed to perform their important functions. “As we thank domestic monitors and observers for their contributions to our democracy, we also thank the international groups for the friendship and concern they have demonstrated to our nation. “We appreciate their efforts in encouraging us to further entrench and strengthen our democracy. “Tomorrow is an encounter with history in which you, the people, shall affirm your collective belief in our national greatness and in our future. “I ask that you embrace and hold on to the importance of the moment soon to be upon us. “Honour your civic duty as voters by going to the polls tomorrow to vote for the government of your choice, for the government that will lead Nigeria toward its finest destiny. “As citizens there is no greater duty than this and no greater honour. Tomorrow, I know you will once again make Nigeria proud of its people. “May God bless our democracy and forever bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” http://dailypost.ng/2019/02/22/nigeria-elections-full-text-buharis-national-broadcast/ 37 Likes 3 Shares

After the El-Rufai body bags and the Buhari's ballot box snatchers threat? Coming from a president who is the no-1 promoter of violence.From the "dogs and baboons soak in blood" , "Muslims should only vote for muslims" to his "deal ruthlessly with ballot box snatchers", Buhari have proven himself to always be a desperate blood thirsty man that have no place in a 21st century civilization.Useless govt. 80 Likes 5 Shares

Do not allow anyone to discourage you from the exercise of your rights as citizens and voters tomorrow.Your presidential order to the military is already more than enough discouragement. “To vote means that you believe in Nigeria and the excellent things the future holds for this nation and its people.Baba, do you yourself actually believe in Nigeria? With the gross nepotism, abject and stark poverty, unrivaled security challenge and unchecked terrorism, does the nation still have a future with you at the helm of affairs? Anyway, like someone said, that's a nice farewell speech. Safe trip back to Daura. 23 Likes 1 Share

I'd bet my balls that Buhari doesn't know the meaning of democracy. Maybe to him, democracy is just the act of voting candidates into elective positions. SMH.. All his recent infamous acts are a sharp contrast of this epistle written by his zombies about democracy 27 Likes 1 Share |

Nice speech Mr President. Does someone else notice what I'm seeing, this is the first election period where our economy, stock exchange doesn't feel the negative effect of election. We all know how our foreign reserve drastically depreciated during 2015 election. Awon omo pa tan, ki o na tan. Never AFAIK. Bubu till 2023, if u're not cool with that, go and snatch ballot box tomorrow 18 Likes 3 Shares |

The Dullard is going... Meanwhile, currently in Kogi State, Yaya Bello through the respective Local Government Administrators has resorted to the usage of SARS to wantonly arrest PDP stalwarts and supporters who they believe could be a hinderance to their devilish plot. Currently, some of us are in hiding for no just reason. But for supporting PDP. Some of our leaders framed. Yaya is frustrated, having seen the great embarrassment awaiting him at the poll. In my hiding, I am earnestly praying for a miserable death for all the security officers and others who volunteered to perverse the course of justice for a token AMEN PLEASE SAVE OUR SOUL from the DEMON, YAYA BELLO and HIS Agents 17 Likes 1 Share |

Those following Buhari are doing so because of what they will eat. However if Atiku also fail to perform when elected, he should be asked to leave. Haters you can say anything you want. Buhari has gone forever: he should go back to animal husbandry. 16 Likes 1 Share |
