I wish my Successor the best of luck – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his wish for the 2023 presidential election to be conducted without hitches so he can hand over peacefully to whoever succeeds him as he wished his successor the best of luck.

He said this at a dinner with members of the legal team for the 2019 presidential election petition on Thursday in Abuja.

‘‘The number of people that turned out in every state across the country was more than anybody can buy or force,” Buhari said.

‘‘This gave me so much confidence and the election proved that with the votes I got. ‘That is why I insist that elections must be free and fair because I am a clear successor to a free and fair election.

‘‘Morally I want to have a clear conscience. I swore by the Holy Book that I will abide by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

‘‘I will continue to do my best and I hope that by 2023, I can handover quietly to whoever succeeds me and I wish him the best of luck.”
