No Third Term Agenda, Elections Will Hold – Buhari tells INEC

President Muhammadu Buhari said on Tuesday that his administration has no plans for a third term and that it will do everything possible to guarantee that polls are held across the country despite rising violence.

The President made the remark after meeting with Professor Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and other electoral commissioners at the State House in Abuja.

INEC offices across the country have recently been targeted.

Professor Yakubu, the INEC chief, claims that 11 of the commission’s offices have been set burned or vandalized in the last four weeks.

“I received a briefing today from the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), on the series of attacks on their facilities nationwide,” Buhari said.

“These attacks are totally unacceptable, and we will not allow those behind them to achieve their evil objectives.

“I have assured INEC that we will make available to them everything they need to operate efficiently, so that no one will say we don’t want to go, or that we want a third term. There will be no excuse for failure. We will meet all of INEC’s demands.”
