In a statement he personally signed on Sunday, the President urged Nigerians to participate massively in the forthcoming presidential election.

“It even threatens to undermine February’s poll and – by extension – our democracy. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has raised concerns over laundered money being funneled into vote buying.”
The President promised to end corruption in the country if given another mandate of four years and also promised to follow due process in ensuring that the fight against corruption was fought to the end despite the resistance from those involved in graft.
