“The processes leading to the election and its peaceful conduct and outcome, have shown that our electoral reform is bearing positive fruits. This is very encouraging and I am determined to give Nigeria free and fair elections, no matter which way the results swing,” he said.

Buhari says he is delighted at the conduct of the candidates, describing it as “heart-warming and a renewal of confidence in the sanctity of the ballot which deepens our nation’s democracy.”

President Buhari also asked INEC to improve on areas of logistics as the nation braces for coming governorship elections and the main general elections in 2019.

The President while congratulating Governor Willie Obiano on his re-election, said he should rededicate himself to building on his achievements that endeared him to the electorate and swayed the majority of votes in his favour.

He said the Federal Government is ready to work with him for the greater harmony, peace and development of not only Anambra State but the entire country.
