The United States has raised the alarm that widespread vote-buying could mar Nigeria’s general elections coming up next month.

The US Deputy Ambassador, Jonathan Cohen, who spoke yesterday during a United Nations Security Council meeting on West Africa, urged politicians, civil society groups and community leaders to ensure that the election was free and fair.

Cohen said, “The United States sees a risk that widespread vote-buying could challenge the integrity of the election process.

“We are concerned about reports of intimidation and partisanship by security forces, heightened insecurity and inability of internally displaced persons or persons with disabilities to vote.”

AFP reported that the UN envoy for West Africa, Mohamed Ibn Chambas, said Boko Haram attacks had increased over the past months.

He explained that during the last week of December alone, the Islamist militants staged three attacks on army bases.

Chambas said “tensions are high” in Nigeria ahead of the vote, but that prospects for peaceful elections had brightened with the signing of an accord last month in which parties pledged to support calm and order.

BUHARI kept attacking the media but can't do without having numerous media aides and media house to launch his propaganda... Always angry that the media is exposing his failures as govt

Indeed all these are valid points visible to even the blind that would hamper our quest for good governance.

INEC needs to get it right

That is why they increased poverty before the election. So that they can buy votes from hungry masses

There has always been poverty in Enugu as the poverty capital of SE, it was caused by Buhari

If there's any mopping up of votes being done, i know which devilish set of people are primarily responsible!

It would be difficult for this country to get this so called 'democracy' experiment right with this kind of characters in control of things at the centre!

Help us out of this tyrant government


Make sure we see them no more again
