The United States of America (USA) Tuesday said it's compiling reports on the February 23 and March 9, 2019 general elections in Nigeria, in order to make appropriate remarks on the just concluded electoral exercise.
USA stated this through its Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of African Affairs, Tibor Nagy, in a telephone press conference.
Nagy said the US was actively involved with political processes in the country, particularly the 2019 elections.
He said during the build-up to
the elections, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, and his team took many steps to ensure that things went smoothly.
The US official said in the pre-election period, in the election period and currently in the post-election period, they are providing phenomenal guidance to Washington on how the US Government should and should not respond to the election-related matters.
“So, just rest assured that the US Embassy and the Consulate in Lagos are actively involved and are doing an absolutely superb job to monitor events and to provide guides on how Washington should react to whatever the events there are.
“As you know, our secretary did make a telephone call," Nagy said.
