The Minority Caucus in the House of Representatives wants President Muhammadu Buhari to engrave his name in gold by ensuring a free, fair and credible 2023 general elections.

The caucus also asked the APC-led government not to worsen the already perilous situation in the country but use the turn of the year to end its unrestrained borrowing and reckless accumulation of debts with which it decimated our productive sectors and mortgaged the future of our nation.

Minority Leader, Rep. Ndudi Elumelu, asked Nigerians to further unite, brace up and forge a formidable front in the determination to rescue the nation from oppressive forces “Against this backdrop, all democracy institutions and security agencies must deploy all necessary measures to guarantee a free, fair, transparent, peaceful and credible electoral process where Nigerians freely participate and in which all votes count at the end of the day.

“The Minority Caucus urges President Muhammadu Buhari to write his name in gold by ensuring that he leaves a lasting legacy of a leader that ensured free and fair election and hand over to whoever Nigerians genuinely elect in the forthcoming Presidential election irrespective of the party the individual belongs to. Nigerians earnestly desire a government that truly works in their interest and 2023 holds the promise. The Minority Caucus greets Nigerians on the occasion of the New Year and wishes the nation many fruitful years ahead under a purposeful and caring leadership,” he said.
