Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari voiced confidence Friday in free polls in February, brushing aside any impact from recent attacks on electoral offices.
"I am resolute in my determination to enable the conduct of free, fair and transparent national elections in the first quarter of 2023, whose outcome would be largely accepted to the contestants," he said at the US Institute of Peace in Washington.
Buhari said such violence was limited and that he was committed to ensure that electoral offices were adequately funded."I think, in relative terms, security is good," he said.
