Former Head of State, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar, on
Tuesday urged Nigerians to give President Goodluck Jonathan
the benefit of doubt on his promise that general elections
would hold as re-scheduled.
Abubakar made the call while fielding questions from
newsmen in Kano.
The former Head of State was in Kano to inaugurate the
Kano Informatics Institute, Kura.
He said Jonathan had in the recent Presidential Media Chart
promised to allow the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to conduct the polls on the new dates.
“As our President, let us give him benefit of doubt and
accept what he said’’, Abubakar said.
He, however, urged INEC to ensure the conduct of free, fair
and acceptable elections for the sustenance of the country’s
democracy.
According to him, “I do hope INEC officials will conduct free,
fair and credible elections in the country’’, he said.
On his recent visits to President Jonathan and, Gen
Muhammadu Buhari (APC presidential candidate), Abubakar
said the visits were private. (NAN)
