Buhari Will Deliver Credible Polls In 2023- Gambari

The Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, has assured Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari will deliver on his pledge to the world leaders by delivering credible, free and fair elections in 2023.

Gambari gave the assurance on Wednesday while reacting to President Buhari’s statement at the ongoing 77th session of the General Assembly in New York.

Gambari added that the message of the Nigerian leader was clear on credible elections, and he would not want to elongate his tenure.

“Well, I think it’s clear because the president has been saying the voice and vote of Nigerians must be respected.

“He said let Nigerians choose among the candidates for elections, so that they will also take responsibility for the consequences. I think that’s the point that they should note.

“And, therefore, the electorate have unique opportunity under this president to exercise their vote in a wise manner, because there are consequences,” said Gambari.

Earlier, Buhari had told the world leaders that he would leave a legacy by allowing the votes of the electorate to count.

“As President, I have set the goal that one of the enduring legacies I would like to leave is to entrench a process of free, fair and transparent and credible elections through which Nigerians elect leaders of their choice,’’ he said.
