On its part, the United States Embassy said that America and its allies would be paying close attention to the actions of individuals who interfered in the democratic process in Kogi and Bayelsa governorship elections holding on Saturday.
The US said it was looking out for anyone who might instigate violence against the civilian population before, during, or after the elections.
Stating that it did not endorse any specific candidate or party, the US explained that it supported a genuinely free, fair, transparent, and peaceful electoral process.
The US Embassy, in a statement in Abuja on Thursday, noted that the conduct of the elections in Kogi and Bayelsa states was important not only for Nigeria but for the African continent.
It said, “The United States Government does not support any specific candidate or party in any Nigerian election.
“The United States supports the Nigerian democratic process itself. We support a genuinely free, fair, transparent, and peaceful electoral process.
“We and other democratic nations will be paying close attention to the actions of individuals who interfere in the democratic process or instigate violence against the civilian population before, during, or after the elections.”
