2019 ELECTION: MY EMPHASIS IS ON FREE, FAIR ELECTIONS SAYS BUHARI

President Muhammadu Buhari has again said on Monday that his emphasis at all times was for free and fair elections ahead of 2019 general elections.

Presidential spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, in a statement quoted the President as saying while receiving the Governor-General of Canada, Julie Payette, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.“I emphasise free and fair elections at all times,”

Buhari said Nigeria’s democracy was steadily improving with deeper understanding of the culture and tenets among the people, and strengthening of the institutions that guarantee free and fair elections.

He said he saw the evolving strength of democracy in the country by contesting for presidential elections three times before winning at the fourth trial in 2015.
