Leaders must respect citizens' choice in elections, says Buhari - Punch Newspapers

According to a statement signed on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari spoke on Friday during a bilateral meeting with the President of Malawi, Lazarus Chakwera, at the sideline of the Extraordinary Summit of the African Union in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.

Buhari said to strengthen Africa’s democratic fabric and ensure smooth conduct of elections, “We must convince the people that we respect them, and this is by allowing them to choose whoever they want.” Citing his experience, he said, “I had to openly disabuse the minds of our colleagues. We are a developing country, that we should not be demoralized.

He explained that the merit of one’s case, not religion, or ethnicity or section will determine success in political endeavors, saying that his meritorious cases in court were thrown out by judges who more or less shared the same sentimental backgrounds with him.

REALLY? Oga Buhari, please try and practise what you preach, even if for the last few months remaining in your eight years misrule of Nigeria.

The citizen choice is to keep voting the northerners into power. Kindly throw the primary open and see if your brother atiku will emerged

Yes Sir.

Choice? He who brings kola wins. It's that simple.

This BUHARI is always talking nonsens£

You weren't our choice, so allow them to continue from where you will stop.

Because u have perfect the electoral system to favour the core north ... Let Igbo go since they are not wanted . Systematically igbos that is a major tribe in Nigeria has been made minority . See below

Where is this sudden motivation coming from? 🤔
