“I also call on the Inspector General of Police and the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to remain loyal to the people, rather than serving the interests of politicians.
“Neutrality and professionalism are crucial in ensuring a peaceful electoral process.
“Furthermore, I condemn the reported plots by the ruling APC to exploit presidential powers to influence the election outcome.
