President Muhammadu Buhari has said that nobody could unseat him in Saturday’s presidential election.
The president made this known in an interview aired by CNN Africa on Friday.
He added that he felt fit enough to lead Africa’s most populous nation for another four years if Nigerians decided to back his second term ambition.
Asked if he was worried anyone could unseat him like he unseated then incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari said, “No. Nobody would unseat me.”
“I am ready to take this country forward for the next four years,” the president added.
The president also spoke about his administration’s plan for combating violent extremism of Boko Haram in the North East.
He said, “We have 774 local governments in this country. They (Boko Haram) used to hold 17. They are not technically holding any local government now.
“But they are indoctrinating young men and women, especially girls, wrap them up with explosives and let them explode them in soft targets like churches, mosques, marketplaces, motor parks and other places.”
The president appreciated some Western powers that had been assisting his administration’s drive to end Boko Haram insurgency.
“Of course, we are doing our best (to contain the terror) and we thank some foreign countries in Europe and the United States for training our armed forces and going to the battlefront to see how they have performed,” he stated.
