The United States of America through it’s Ambassador to Nigeria, W. Stuart has reacts to Nigeria February 23rd Elections.
In his statement that was made available to MEDIAHELM NEWS. He said:
I
congratulate the tens of millions of Nigerians who stood patiently in
long lines to vote this week and the hundreds of thousands who worked
together with INEC to conduct the elections. As noted by many observer
groups in their preliminary reports, this election was predominantly
peaceful, and it was proof of the Nigerian people’s resolute commitment
to choose their leaders. The peaceful achievement of millions was
shadowed by the violence of a few. We extend our deepest sympathy to the
families of those who lost their lives, and we urge all candidates to
honor the Peace Accord they signed. All should convince those who
support them to refrain from using force or violence to interfere with
INEC. No one should break the law by announcing results before INEC
does, or break the peace by claiming victory before the results are
final. Everyone has a common interest in showing patience as INEC
collates and announces the election results.
