NIGERIANS KNOW WE MEAN WHAT WE SAY, THEY WILL VOTE FOR US AGAIN – BUHARI
Read Time:1 Minute, 52 Second
President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday said outcomes of the Governorship and State of Assembly elections will favor the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country as Nigerians know the party “means what it says, and says what it means.’’
Buhari made the statement in Daura after casting his votes during the gubernatorial elections in the state, noting that he was not surprised at the results of the Presidential elections on February 25, 2023, which saw Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerging as President-elect, since the APC campaigns were thorough, and detailed.
“I am sure we are going to win, again’’ President Buhari told newsmen, after casting his vote at Ward A, Sarkin Yara Polling Unit, 003.
The President urged the electorate to follow their conscience in choosing right leaders, both state executives and legislatures, admonishing that the era of vote buying had been diminished.
“I am aware that the money is not there like before for people to sway voters, like they used to do. And if they bring out money now, the people should pocket it, and still vote their conscience,’’ he said.
The President noted that the APC followed the constitutional procedure for the entire electoral process, choosing a party Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, who had served as a two-term Governor in Nasarawa State, and legislator in the Senate, with an experience that will secure the electoral value and relevance of the party.
“Nigerians trust us because we mean what we say and say what we mean. We have maintained that trust. We told Nigerians that we will work for them, and we have done our best in education and health facilities, and Nigerians appreciate our efforts,’’ he said.
On deepening of democratic culture and rising awareness among Nigerians, the President said the media had played a major role in empowering people with information on their rights, and providing a platform for voters to challenge leaders on promises and records.
“The media is doing very well in creating awareness and enabling the right conversation. You can hear the tough questions for leaders during interviews on TV, radio and other platforms, and the journalists always press for answers,’’ the President noted.
President Buhari’s family members and aides also voted at the Ward.
