President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration will ensure that all cases of political assassination, intimidation and kidnappings in the country are thoroughly looked into.
This would be done with a view to ensuring that the perpetrators are speedily brought to justice, irrespective of their political affiliation.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President said he remained committed to providing a level playing field for all Nigerians to get on with their daily lives or participate in electing their leaders, without fear of intimidation.
“At every point, the law must be supreme and everyone must respect the law, if our democratic system is to survive.
“Injustice cannot survive for long. Justice will ultimately prevail. We will make sure that those saddled with the responsibility of ensuring justice and equity do not rest on their oars.
“The only way we can sustain our democracy is to ensure that the law remains supreme at all times. If the law is upheld, people will have confidence that they can vote for who they want to vote for, without intimidation or threats. People must have protection to exercise their rights freely or we could be headed for anarchy.
President Buhari also promised that his administration would continuously strengthen Nigeria’s criminal justice system to curb the reign of injustice and impunity in the country.
