Snatch ballot box at the expense of your life, Buhari warns

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said that anyone who attempts to snatch ballot box during election will do so at the expense of his live.

“I want to warn anyone who thinks he has enough influence in his locality who tries to lead thugs to snatch ballot boxes or disturb the voting system will do so at the expense of his own life,” Buhari said during the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) caucus meeting in Abuja on Monday.

Buhari, who had earlier expressed disappointment in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the postponement of the general elections,  said there will not be room for election riggers to carry out their acts.

The President, who is also seeking re-election, said Nigerians believed in INEC after the Commission assured of “complete readiness for the elections.”

The president, however, said he was not afraid of losing the election despite the election postponement and that he was optimistic has the support of Nigerians.

“I am not afraid; I went around 36 states to campaign. I think I have gotten enough support across the country,” Buhari said.
