Avoid violence during elections – Buhari tells supporters

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), has called on his party’s supporters to avoid acts of violence during and after the coming elections.

Making this call in Bauchi on Tuesday at the North East Zonal Presidential Campaign Rally, Buhari said, “I call on all the APC supporters in the zone to make sure that they remain peaceful on election day and refuse any intimidation to cause violence.

“You should make sure you have your permanent voter cards and vote for those you want to be your leaders,” he added.

The opposition leader maintained that he had to make the call because some people did not want the elections to hold and were looking for any reason to stop it.

Speaking at the gathering, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno Sate appealed to the supporters to remain united and peaceful and vote massively for APC candidates in all the states within the zone.
