President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday assured Nigerians that the forthcoming elections will hold as scheduled.

The president stated this while receiving the executive members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria at the State House, Abuja.

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the statement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday that this year’s general elections faced threat of cancellation and postponement if the waves of insecurity in parts of the country are not addressed.

A source at the meeting said the president assured the clerics that the elections would be conducted as scheduled by INEC.
