President Muhammadu Buhari has urged all eligible electorates not to be afraid of rumour of violence saying they should all go out on Saturday to exercise their civic rights
The President in a nationwide broadcast also challenged eligible voters were duty bound to participate in electing a government that would lead Nigeria to its finest destiny.
According to the president, it is only upon the freely expressed will of the people that government truly dedicated to the welfare, rights and interests of the people can be founded.
The president stressed that voting means that the citizens believe in Nigeria and the excellent things the future holds for the nation and its people.
Therefore, he called on the electorate not to allow anyone to discourage them from exercising their rights as citizens and voters on Saturday.
The president emphasised that his administration had put in place adequate security measures that would enable the electorate to vote in an atmosphere of openness and peace, devoid of fear from threat or intimidation.
Buhari reassured the International and domestic monitors as well as observers of their safety and freedom of movement while performing their important functions.
