President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday cautioned those peddling false campaigns of tenure extension, he vowed to leave office on May 29, 2023. Mr President swore by the Holy Qur’an that he will serve in accordance with the constitution and go when his time is up. According to a statement titled, ‘President Buhari Says I Will Leave On 29 May 2023, Warns Tenure Extension Campaigners To Desist,’ signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, President Buhari made the above affirmation at a meeting in Makkah with a select group of Nigerians residing in Saudi Arabia where he recently visited. “I swore by the Holy Qur’an that I will serve in accordance with the constitution and leave when my time is up. No “Tazarce’’ (tenure extension).
“I don’t want anybody to start talking about and campaigning for unconstitutional extension. I will not accept that,” Buhari said.
Mallam Shehu said the President also promised to provide support to expand the role of technology in the nation’s elections, explaining that the introduction of the card reader and electronic register was God’s answer to his prayers, having been cheated of his victory in three previous elections.
“After the third so-called defeat, I said, ‘God Dey’. My opponents laughed at me but God answered my prayers by bringing in technology. At that point, nobody can steal their votes or buy them,” Buhari was quoted as saying.
The President also said he will continue to abide by the constitution in all its ramifications, adding that he will at all times supervise and deal with his ministers on the same basis.
