It will be very terrible if INEC postpone the election – Buhari

The All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.), has said it will be too bad if the Independent
National Electoral Commission allows itself to be compromised to shift
the general election or allow irregularities in the voting process.
Buhari made the statement in an interview published onReuterson
Friday, saying he was optimistic that he would win the election and
that he would approach the courts if there are irregularities in the
voting process. He said he would not call his followers into the
streets.
Buhari said, "I'm optimistic that I won't lose. But we signed an
undertaking that it will be violence – free. We are attempting to
stabilise a multi – party democratic system.
"There will be no delay. But if INEC is compromised then it will be
too bad," Buhari said.
The APC had said that the only reason the pro-Jonathan camp was
pushing for a delay of the elections was because it knew that the
president would lose if voting should hold as planned.
On the insurgency in the country, the APC candidate said it was a
disgrace that neighbouring countries like Chad, Niger and Cameroon had
been more successful than Nigeria in the battle against the Boko Haram
insurgency.

Buhari told Reuters that, "It's a big disgrace for Nigeria. It is now
Cameroon and Chad fighting the insurgency more than Nigeria. We will
build the capacity and Nigeria should be able to secure its
territorial integrity
"Our main objective is to secure the country. We will not tolerate
insurgency, sabotage of the economy by blowing up of installations, by
stealing crude and so on. All these things will be things of the
past."
He assured that his administration would tackle corruption in the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and reopen an investigation
into the missing crude revenues of around $20bn, adding that he would
tackle the theft of crude tapped from pipelines in the Niger Delta.
