The Presidency has welcomed the outcomes of the various elections conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in different parts of the country over the weekend with different political parties emerging victorious.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on media and publicity, Garba Shehu said in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, said the results were a manifestation of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to free and fair elections in the country.
The statement said: ‘‘The President is inherently committed to the independence of the electoral commission in his belief that the will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government which is expressed through periodic, free and fair elections. He will do nothing to impede INEC.”
Congratulating the winners of the elections in Anambra Central Senatorial District, Ardo Kola State Constituency in Taraba and Gwagwalada Central Constituency in the FCT, on behalf of the President, the spokesman reaffirmed that under President Buhari’s watch, Nigeria will record more free, fair and credible elections.
