“I am supposed to preside over all Nigerian interests whether I like it or not, but my single desire is to make sure that innocent people don’t suffer. That message I got across to the Inspector General of Police, that elections must be free and fair.” — President @MBuhari

“If contestants have too much money and they decide to spray, so be it. But what I insist is, nobody should go and raise a counter force to the government, arm heavily-drugged thugs to go and humiliate people.” — President @MBuhari

“I want Nigerians to appreciate that I respect them as Nigerians and that I am bound by the oath I have taken, that their security is in the hands of God and in the hands of the government, which I am leading.” — President @MBuhari

“I am trying to make sure that the party is built on a civilised basis, rule of law & respect for human rights & human beings, right from polling units to [LGAs], to States up to Abuja & that’s what I have been insisting as my contribution to the NWC and executive of the party.”

“I know we are a developing country, a developing economy and trying to develop our political culture. I want the development of political culture to be based on integrity and accountability.” — President @MBuhari

“Let people work very hard and earn what they are looking for through their hard work and through fair competition.” — President @MBuhari
