Postponement Of Elections In Nigeria, American Government Release Statement by truthispainful: 5:43pm On Feb 08, 2015
Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
February 7, 2015
The United States is deeply disappointed by the decision to postpone Nigeria’s presidential election, which had been scheduled for February 14.
Political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission is unacceptable, and it is critical that the government not use security concerns as a pretext for impeding the democratic process. The international community will be watching closely as the Nigerian government prepares for elections on the newly scheduled dates. The United States underscores the importance of ensuring that there are no further delays.
As I reaffirmed when I visited Lagos last month, we support a free, transparent, and credible electoral process in Nigeria and renew our calls on all candidates, their supporters, and Nigerian citizens to maintain calm and reject election-related violence.

How did we get to this point where we will be told what to do as a nation when we actually know what to do. Why should we allow our nation to be ridiculed once again in the eyes of the international community for selfish interests. This nation is not any group of people and electorates must be allowed to choose whoever they want to lead them.
They will exercise same elective power to fire and hire a new leader if they so choose.
