The European Union (EU), has said the result of the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections, is in tandem with independent civil society observations.
EU spokesperson for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/European Neighbourhood Policy and
Enlargement Negotiations, Maja Kocijancic, gave the EU’s position in a
statement in Bruxelles.
“Nigerians have re-elected President
Muhammadu Buhari, as the announcement by the Independent National
Electoral Commission confirms. These results are consistent with
independent civil society observations. Moreover, important lessons are
to be learned, in particular ahead of the State elections next week.
“It is now the responsibility of all parties and candidates to strengthen democracy and unite the country,” the EU said.
The
EU further said its observation mission will remain in Nigeria beyond
the State and House of Assembly elections and produce a final report
with recommendations. The EU also said it will continue to strengthen
its partnership with Nigeria.
