President Buhari also reacted to the defection of some leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, telling Nigerians to vote whoever they like.
He advised the defected members and other political leaders across the country to allow the people to perform their civic responsibility of electing whoever they want as their
He said, “Let people choose what party they want to belong to, but let them make sure that they have empowered their constituencies by educating them (Voters Registration) and making sure that they’ve got their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and that they use their right as Nigerians to vote whoever they like.”
“This is the beauty of democracy, this is what I am hoping to see,” President Buhari added.
The President, who left the country for the United Kingdom on August 3, was received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja by his Chief of Staff, Mr Abba Kyari, and other top government officials.
They include the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, and the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, among others.
