President Muhammadu Buhari has formally reacted to the release of the 2019 election timetable and schedule of activities by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, warning actors in the political space against a resort to violence in an attempt to sway electoral support, or in the event that they are rejected at the polls.
Buhari who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, praised his predecessor, President Goodluck Jonathan by his actions in 2015 for setting the tone for decent political conduct in the country.
He also also call on politicians and political parties to pledge their commitment to the peaceful democratic process by urging their supporters to respect the electoral process and restrain them from violence. All aggrieved parties should seek redress through constitutional means and respect for the rule of law.
