IT WOULD BE TOO BAD IF INEC COMPROMISES AND POSTPONE THE ELECTIONS – BUHARI

By Muhammad A. Aliyu

The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari in an interview published on Reuters on Friday has said it will be too bad if the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, allows itself to be compromised to shift the general election or allow irregularities in the voting process. According to Buhari he is very optimistic that he will be winning the forthcoming election.

“I’m optimistic that I won’t lose. But we signed an undertaking that it will be violence – free. We are attempting to stabilise a multi – party democratic system.

“There will be no delay. But if INEC is compromised then it will be too bad,” Buhari said.

He also spoke on Boko Haram and how Cameroon and Chad have been winning the battle.

“It’s a big disgrace for Nigeria. It is now Cameroon and Chad fighting the insurgency more than Nigeria. We will build the capacity and Nigeria should be able to secure its territorial integrity

“Our main objective is to secure the country. We will not tolerate insurgency, sabotage of the economy by blowing up of installations, by stealing crude and so on. All these things will be things of the past,” he said.
