President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday assured Nigerians that his government has taken adequate measures to ensure that credible and successful elections are delivered to them.
Speaking in a video that lasted two minutes, 32 seconds and titled, “My Message to Nigerians on the forthcoming Elections,” Buhari said, “We have taken adequate measures to ensure we deliver credible and successful elections. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
The President who enjoined Nigerians to exercise their franchise in a peaceful atmosphere called on traditional rulers, religious leaders and parents to warn their followers and wards alike not to allow themselves to be used to foment trouble.
He, however, assured that his government has taken adequate security measures to allow everyone to come out and cast their votes.

“I am fully aware of the current hardship you are facing as a result of some policy of the government which are meant to bring overall improvement to the country.
“I am appealing to you to exercise patience while we are taking measures to ease the hardship.
“God willing, there will be light at the end of the tunnel,” Buhari concluded.
