MARCH 21, 2023

Nigeria carried out the second round of its electoral process with gubernatorial and state assembly elections on March 18. The United States is deeply troubled by the disturbing acts of violent voter intimidation and suppression that took place during those polls in Lagos, Kano, and other states. of the U.S. diplomatic mission observed the elections in Lagos and elsewhere and witnessed some of these incidents first-hand. The use of ethnically charged rhetoric before, during, and after the gubernatorial election in Lagos was particularly concerning. We commend all Nigerian political actors, religious and community leaders, youth, and citizens who have chosen to reject and speak out against such violence and inflammatory language, affirming Nigerians’ commitment to and respect for the democratic process.

We call on Nigerian authorities to hold able and bring to justice any individuals found to have ordered or carried out efforts to intimidate voters and suppress voting during the election process. The United States likewise will consider all available actions, including additional visa restrictions, on individuals believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic process in Nigeria.

Following the February 25 national elections, the United States ed other international observers in urging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to improve voting processes and technical elements that experienced flaws in that voting round. The March 18 elections appear to have had significant operational improvements, as polling stations generally opened on time and most results were visible on an electronic viewing platform in a timely manner.

The United States renews its call for any challenges to election results to go through established legal processes, which must not be interfered with. We further call for Nigeria’s people to work together as they participate in and continue to strengthen the country’s vibrant democracy.

USA sometimes behave as if they're the only country in the world. Their house is in turmoil yet they keep trying to police other nations.

The tribalist bigots are rushing to retract their divisive statements because they plan to retire in the U.S. with their families after looting the national coffers mercilessly for the next 4 years.

All Obidient influencers should be banned from entering US. Those guys have Phd in propaganda. Their mumu followers are dependent thinkers, anywhere belle face.

Lagos state was largely free and fair, out of 13,300 polling units, less than 50 polling units had crisis.

Him no fit win his polling unit.

Some mumu Obidients still believe Peter Obi scored 25% in Kwara, Kogi, Niger, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa, Sokoto, Zamfara, Yobe, Adamawa, Borno, Gombe, Bauchi (14 states) because of the presence of Igbo and Christians. That's why Obi campaigned in Christian dominated area eg. Kafachan in Kaduna State, Biu in Borno, Sabon Gari in Kano, Kaltungo in Gombe, Mubi in Adamawa etc.

They are still claiming 25% in Osun, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti & Oyo because of Lagos victory.

Lock at morons praising this news.

In this part of the world is sad that people are just ignorant and oblivious of how things really work.

Is there still anyone who respects and believes the US keeps 💯 to their words.

Nigerians please CNN,BBC
Are not the only news channel,

WION, redacted on YouTube are better place to get unbiased news .

That way you would know how things really work.
