President Muhammadu Buhari has assured UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, of his commitment to conduct free, fair and credible elections in 2019.
This was made known in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
The presidential aide quoted Buhari as saying, “I assure you that I’m all out for free, fair and credible elections.
“I’m very pleased that my party is doing very well. The High Commissioner will brief you more.
“The recent successes in polls in Katsina, Bauchi, and Kogi have boosted our morale greatly.
“Nigeria has accepted multiparty democracy and that is putting politicians on their toes, forcing them to work harder.”
Buhari also expressed satisfaction with Britain’s support for the country’s anti-corruption fight.
He noted that the success of the fight was very important to ordinary people in the country.
