The presidency said yesterday that it will not let a replay of the events of June 12, 1993, which led to the annulment of the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections.
As a result, it recommended any candidate or political party dissatisfied with the way the election was handled or its results to seek remedy in court.
In a statement headlined “During the 5th United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries, LDCs, unveiled President Buhari mobilized support for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidency,” Mallam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, said.
He claimed that prior to the election, President Buhari had promised in a number of local and international fora that he would make sure the elections that would mark his departure from office were credible and that the results would accurately reflect the wishes of the populace in selecting their next leader.
The Election Act, 2022’s passage into law and the use of technology for the elections were signs that President Buhari was prepared to leave Nigeria with an honest and free of fraud electoral system.
