Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that the peaceful outcome of the recently concluded 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 his Eid-el-Fitr message for Muslims to mark the end of the Ramadan fasting season, President Buhari explained that “the outcome of the elections were in line with my pledge to leave a legacy of free and fair elections. 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.”
He added: “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 my own party were routed and unseated. At no point did I interfere with the process in order to give unfair advantage to anyone.”
President Buhari congratulated Muslims on successfully completing this year’s Ramadan and prayed to Allah to reward the Muslims for their sacrifices during the fasting season.
He said: “We shouldn’t forget the important lessons of Ramadan which includes improving our bond with the underprivileged and poor members of society.
“Abstention from food and drinks during the fasting period had made it possible for us to appreciate the situation of those who go without eating every day.”
