<\/p>\nThe Muslim Students\u2019 Society of Nigeria, Lagos Area Unit, has advised the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, to remain focused and ensure that the April elections are free and fair.<\/span><\/p>\nThe group\u2019s President, Alhaji Qasim Badrudeen, who gave the advice at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday, said the elections would provide an opportunity for Jega to write his name in gold.<\/span><\/p>\nHe said, \u201cINEC under the chairmanship of Jega has rekindled the hope of Nigerians in the possibility of credible, free and fair elections in April. It is our firm belief that Jega will live up to his promise of giving the nation the most credible elections ever.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cHe cannot afford to betray the confidence millions of Nigerians have in his ability. We quite understand that there might have been surreptitious moves by desperate politicians to get him compromised on his resolve to make us happy this time around. He should not be distracted for history beckons on him, and we pray Almighty Allah will assist him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\nBadrudeen said for Jega to succeed, it was imperative for all stakeholders and indeed all Nigerians to conduct themselves peacefully at the polls, adding that all Nigerians would be happy if the elections were free from violence and credible.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt is in realisation of this fact that we appeal to Nigerians, especially the youth, to shun all forms of thuggery and avoid being used as instruments of rigging and vandalism during elections,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\nCommending the Lagos State Government for its \u201cpeople-oriented programme\u201d in the last four years, the MSSN said Governor Babatunde Fashola\u2019s administration had proved that Lagosians could still have good life despite the multifarious challenges involved in the provision of basic social amenities.<\/span><\/p>\nWhile reiterating its support for the administration as long as it continues to give the dividends of democracy to the people, it, however, advised the government to provide low-cost housing for the masses.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nRead more:
