Buhari urges INEC to conduct free polls
Former military president and presidential aspirant,
Muhammed Buhari, of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), has
expressed confidence about the Independent National Electoral
Commission’s (INEC) capacity to conduct free and fair elections in 2011.
Mr. Buhari stated this yesterday when he commissioned
the new party secretariat in Jos-Makurdi road in the Bukan-Sidi area of
Nasarawa State.
The general urged INEC to update the voter’s register
in preparation for the forthcoming general election. He warned against
disenfranchising the youth, saying that those who were 18 years and
older should be allowed to take part in the forthcoming general
election.
He asked Nigerians not to vote for corrupt leaders again because
they are criminals, and urged the large crowd who came out to welcome
him, to vote for people of high integrity. He noted that the money
current leaders had realized in the past ten years, was enough to cover
the cost of free education, health care and security.
