President Muhammadu Buhari says he is determined to ensure credible and fair elections in 2023.
The President has also expressed his commitment towards seeing that candidates with integrity prevail in next year’s general elections.
The President said this on Thursday, when he received in audience an All Progressives Congress aspirant vying for the Kano Central Senatorial seat, Alhaji Basheer Lado.
Lado’s meeting with the President comes a day before the senatorial primary elections of the APC holding nationwide on Friday, May 27, 2022.
Briefing State House Correspondents after his meeting with the President, Lado said:
“As you are aware, Kano State is the largest producer of votes in Nigeria. It is the decider of who becomes the next president in the presidential election.
“Just like my Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has done in the past, I respectfully informed and reassured the President that the APC is still the party to beat in Kano despite recent defections.”
According to him, President Buhari declared that credible elections would ensure the emergence of candidates with integrity, for the good of the nation.
“After my briefing, the President reiterated his commitment to credible and peaceful elections and also his desire to see candidates with integrity prevail at the polls all across Nigeria,” Lado said.
