The United States Embassy in Nigeria has said that it is not taking sides in the country’s coming elections.
This U. S stance was contained in Ambassador W. Stuart Symington’s message released by the Embassy in Nigeria, on Tuesday.
Ambassador Symington’s message reads: “U.S Embassy in Nigeria wishes to reiterate unequivocally that we are not taking sides in Nigeria’s election.
“We do not support any party or candidate. We support a level playing field and the democratic process.
“This election is Nigeria’s, but it is also important for Nigeria’s neighbors and for the world. Nigeria has long played a great leadership role in the region and beyond as a force for democratic stability.
“The credible electoral results of 2015 empowered Nigeria to play that role. The United States looks forward to a similar result this week.”
