The aide to the President, Muhammadu Buhari has responded to complaints from some members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) who wrongly assumed that “the president will abuse power by changing outcomes in favour of them.”
“Nigeria’s past presidents were known to interfere in inconclusive elections, and that’s why party members seem upset that the same thing is not happening now, but President Buhari is a di. “He vowed to defend the constitution, and he won’t turn away from it. Nigeria’s constitution gives no such powers to the president.
Party members in states where there will be supplementary elections then need to be reminded that they need to work hard to earn their people’s votes, rather than expect President Buhari to manipulate INEC in their favour.’
