The United Kingdom (UK) government says it has no interest
in who will become the next president of Nigeria during the forthcoming general
elections.
This was disclosed on Wednesday by Catriona Liang, the
British High Commissioner to Nigeria, following a meeting, held at a closed
door, with the National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, in Abuja.
Mrs Liang said the UK would work with any candidate who
emerge from the election.
The High Commissioner also expressed confidence in Nigeria’s
democracy and the president’s commitment to organising free and secure
elections.
She said: “The UK doesn’t have a preferred candidate. We are
committed to free and fair elections, but we will work with whoever the
presidential candidate emerges from the election.
“The UK and Nigeria have a very strong partnership, and we
want Nigeria to succeed. And democracy is part of it”.
She further added that her country’s government welcomes
Nigeria’s commitment to democracy and as well the president Buhari’s commitment
to free and secure elections.
