The US has insisted it has no
anointed candidate for next year’s general election in Nigeria.
Philip Franz, the Political
Officer of the United States Embassy in Nigeria, disclosed this in Katsina on
Wednesday, while on a courtesy call on Governor Aminu Bello Masari.
Franz stated that the Embassy
would not interfere with the electoral processes of the country but will work
to ensure a rancour-free poll.
“Our mission in the country is to
ensure a hitch-free, credible and transparent election that would not toy with
Nigeria’s electoral acts.
“Therefore, we are looking forward
to a peaceful electoral process. We will make sure that the elections are
conducted in Nigeria in accordance with the country’s electoral laws,” he said.
While reaffirming the Embassy’s
quest for credible elections in Nigeria, Franz added: “We don’t have any
candidate, our candidate is the process.”
