Fellow Nigerians, I want to use this opportunity to thank you again for electing me to be your President on two occasions.
I am not a contestant in this election, but my party, the All Progressives Congress, has a candidate in the person of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. As I mentioned before, Tinubu is a true believer in Nigeria who loves the people and the development of our country.
I am calling on all of you to vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He is reliable, and I trust he will build on our achievements.
I want to assure you that the Government has taken adequate security measures to allow everyone to come out and cast their votes. I am therefore appealing to everyone to give them the necessary support.
I want to call on our traditional rulers, religious leaders and parents to warn their followers and wards alike, to not allow themselves to be used by a few to foment trouble.
Finally, I am fully aware of the current hardship you are facing as a result of some policies of the Government which are meant to bring overall improvement to the country.
I am appealing to you to exercise further patience as we take appropriate measures to ease these hardships. God willing, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Signed:
Garba Shehu
Senior Special Assistant to the President,
