President Muhammadu Buhari says he has fulfilled his pledge leave a legacy of free and fair elections with the outcome of the 2023 polls.
In his goodwill message to Muslims on the occasion of the Eid-el-fitr celebration to mark the end of the 30-day Ramadan fasting season, President Buhari said that the peaceful outcome of the elections “will go down on record as one of the proudest achievements of my administration in addition to our neutrality in the conduct of the elections.”
In a statement issued by Senior Special Assistant o Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President said “I’m proud that I have created a level playing field for all contestants regardless of party affiliation in order to produce a fair outcome for all.
“Free and fair elections are the only principles that give credibility to our democracy, because the subversion of the will of the people undermines democracy itself.
“The elections were so transparent that even members of the my own party were routed and unseated. At no point did I interfere with the process in order to give unfair advantage to anyone,” he added.
On the Ramadan fast, President Buhari congratulated Muslims on successfully completing this demanding spiritual obligation.
