2023: FG will oppose thugs, mischief makers — Buhari

With only weeks to the 2023 general elections, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has warned against attempts to create unrest in any form to disrupt the process.

“We, as government will ensure such activities are met with the full force of the law,” Buhari said in his New Year message on Saturday.

He also appealed to Nigerians to avoid being used by some politicians foil smooth elections.

Rather, he said every citizen must participate in ways that ensure free and fair elections.

Buhari said, “We as Nigerians must also take responsibility to ensure we participate in ensuring that the 2023 elections are free and fair by not engaging in anti-state activities and other nefarious acts that may affect the run of the polls.

“We must also resist every attempt to be used by politicians to create unrest in any form to disrupt the elections. We, as government will ensure such activities are met with the full force of the law.”

The President also promised that the collective electoral will and votes of Nigerians will be fulfilled even in the twilight moments of his watch.
