President Muhammadu Buhari gave an assurance Saturday in Abuja that his administration will ensure that all cases of political assassinations, intimidation and kidnappings in the country are thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators speedily brought to justice, irrespective of their political affiliations.

Addressing State Chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at a parley in the Presidential Villa, President Buhari declared that he remains fully 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.

The President said that his administration will continuously  strengthen Nigeria’s criminal justice system to curb the reign  of injustice and impunity in the country.

“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.

“The police and the judiciary must ensure that justice is done in the country.  We won’t allow impunity to continue in certain states, where the rights of the people are being violated.

“I have a personal commitment to fair play and respect of personal rights. This government will do all that is possible to enforce that.

“My address to National Executive Council of the APC was very clear. We are now in the frontline.  We are the party in government. We must lead by good example and consolidate on the gains of our democratic system,’’ President Buhari said.

The President urged the APC State Chairmen and other political leaders in the country keep to prescribed legal processes for the resolution of political disputes and never resort to violence, criminality and other forms of unacceptable behavior in seeking redress for any perceived injustice.

He also called on the state chairmen to work with the party’s elected officials to ensure that the APC delivers on its promise of better living conditions for all Nigerians.

The leader of the delegation and Chairman of the APC in Kano State, Umar Dogowa, said that the APC State Chairmen were on a visit to the Presidential Villa to reaffirm their support for President Buhari and his administration .

Dogowa assured the President that the state chairmen would uphold the values of the party, promote peace and unity in the country, and also ensure that APC elected members live fulfill  their promises to Nigerians.

Some of the APC State Chairmen in states controlled by other parties had complained to President Buhari of political intimidation and harassment.
