US not taking sides in Nigeria’s elections — Ambassador Symington

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 the U.S. 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.”
