Buhari vowing to leave a legacy of free, fair and credible elections is like Anini promising to leave legacy of a crime-free Nigeria – Fayose
Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has mocked President Muhammadu Buhari on his promise of leaving a legacy of free, fair and credible elections.
Buhari had on Monday said he wanted to be remembered as a leader who kept his word that elections must be free, fair and credible.
The President said this in Daura when he hosted Katsina State Governor Aminu Masari who came to inform (him) Buhari of his victory in last Saturday’s governorship poll.
Buhari said:
“I have maintained a position that elections must be free and fair and people have the right to make their choices and vote their consciences.
I am happy they understood the message and did just that…This is the legacy I want to leave behind. A leader must be fair and just. All leaders should strive to do that.”
However, in a tweet on Tuesday, Fayose said:
“Buhari saying his priority is to leave a legacy of free, fair and credible elections is like Oyenusi, Shina Rambo, Anini and Evans the kidnapper promising to leave legacy of a crime free Nigeria.”

In another tweet, Fayose said that Buhari should have signed the Electoral Act amendment to allow for electronic collation of results and use of card readers only for accreditation of voters.
“President Buhari should have signed the Electoral Act amendment to allow for E-Collation of results and use of Card Readers (Strictly) for accreditation to demonstrate his belief in free, fair and credible elections but he refused,” he wrote.
