Yesterday the US government expressed deep disappointment over the conduct of the  Anambra State governorship election, which was held on November 16.

It will be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Willie Obiano, winner after the November 30 supplementary election. The supplementary election was required, because the poll was earlier declared inconclusive.

US Assistant Secretary of State on African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who spoke with some young Nigerians on the President Barack Obama Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) at the Rosa Parks corner of the US Embassy, Abuja, made this statement while responding to a question on Nigeria and 2015 elections.
She said that the question of fair election is on agenda of the US government, noting,

“We were disappointed with the results of the Anambra State governorship election and the problems that came out of that election. So we want to work with the Electoral Commission and work with your politicians to ensure that such is not repeated. And we continue to build on successes and correct failures.”

She believes that promoting fair election and democracy is a matter of key importance for the US, adding that there is still much work left to do to ensure free and fair election on the continent.

Please siddon and be quiet!

The election in the US was free and fair. To even compare the voting system in Nigeria to the US is pointless. They have been having democratic elections every four years since 1776.

The reality is that the INEC admitted that there were massive problems and one of their members was arrested. Voting didn't even take place in large parts of Anambra. This is not free and fair. If it was free and fair, there would NOT have been a supplementary election.

Shortsighted people are always happy when corruption favors them, but love to shout when corruption favors another man. Now that it is "your turn to chop" you talk nonsense, but when a Northern/Middle Belt/Western President does these things your likes will be howling and begging the US for visa.
