President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians of the Federal Government’s commitment to supporting free, fair and credible elections as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prepares to conduct area council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and bye-elections in parts of Rivers and Kano states.
INEC is set to hold elections across the six area councils of the FCT, alongside bye-elections in Ahoada East II and Khana II State constituencies in Rivers State, as well as Kano Municipal and Ungogo constituencies in Kano State.
In a statement issued ahead of the polls, Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s support for institutions responsible for the conduct of elections.
“Fellow Nigerians, I assure you that the Federal Government under my administration will continue to support institutions responsible for delivering free, fair, and credible elections,” the President said.
He wrote: “To all residents of the FCT, Kano and Rivers, I commend your civic consciousness. I am confident that these elections will reflect the will of the people and further strengthen our democratic journey as a nation.
