United States Ambassador to Nigeria James Entwistle, at the weekend said politicians should be blamed for inconclusive elections.
Entwistle told reporters that “politicians often fail to adhere to the principle of non-violence which leads to disruption of the electoral process.”
He said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should not be blamed for the recurring impasse in election results in Kogi, Bayelsa, and others.
The outgoing envoy said improved power supply is crucial to the growth of Nigeria’s economy.
He said: “It is good that the expectations from Mr. President are very high. But, I think people should remember what he inherited. And in my opinion, I try to be neutral and balanced, I think Mr. President and his team, have done a good job in this first year.
“He has done exactly what he said he would do. It’s clear that he has unleashed the investigative agencies to follow every evidence and information wherever it goes. I have been following the investigations of those arrested to see whether there is any evidence that they are politically-motivated, I have not found any.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
