President Muhammadu Buhari says the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has no reason not to conduct free, fair and credible elections in 2023 as he has approved all that was requested by the electoral umpire.
The president made the disclosure during an interactive session co-hosted by the United State Institute of Peace , the International Republican Institute, the National Endowment for Democracy, and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems in Washington D.C.
He asserted his confidence in INEC’s readiness for the 2023 elections.
Meanwhile, the president said Nigeria’s agricultural revolution has led to the creation of over 13 million direct and indirect jobs in the last seven and half years.
The Nigerian leader advised western nations not to be in a rush to eliminate the usage of fossil fuels in a bid to ensure a healthy climate.
Furthermore, he stated that Nigeria’s economy has registered positive growth in the last two quarters despite the gloomy outlook in the global economy, and the war in Ukraine.
President Buhari also cautioned western nations on the frivolous issuance of travel advisories on Nigeria, urging the international media to be more objective in its reportage of the country.
