Buhari has rekindled hope for credible elections – CNPP

The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has renewed hope for free, fair and credible elections this year with his recent warning to security agencies to maintain a high sense of professionalism and desist from behaviour that would bring disrepute to the service.

Secretary General of CNPP, Chief Willy Ezugwu, said on Sunday in a statement that Buhari’s New Year’s message urging Nigerians to resist attempts by politicians to disrupt the 2023 general elections was also a welcome development.

Ezugwu in his own New Year message noted that a successful transition to a new administration would only be possible if all stakeholders ensure the credibility of the forthcoming general elections.

He said the dream of a smooth transition to the next administration on May 29, 2023 would be a mirage without the neutrality of all security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He said that Nigeria could not afford to have a new crop of corrupt politicians and their cronies take over the country’s leadership at every level.

“For this reason, we specially charge the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to ensure that all efforts by politicians to buy votes during the scheduled general elections, beginning from February, were unsuccessful in line with the presidential directive to all security agencies to ensure free, fair and credible elections this year,” he said.
