US President Joe Biden has called for peaceful and credible 2023 general elections in Nigeria, saying the citizens deserve a chance to do so.
“All Nigerians deserve a chance to choose their new leader through a free, fair, transparent, and peaceful process,” he tweeted.
“As election day nears, I urge the political parties and candidates to live up to their pledge to respect the election results and support a peaceful transition.”
Biden’s message re-echoed the stance of diplomatic missions which released a joint statement earlier.
“We call on parties to respect electoral laws and institutions and take a firm stand against violence and hate speech by their supporters. We ask the security services in Nigeria to do their utmost to protect that process and prevent and deter attacks against INEC facilities, materials, and personnel,” they said.
While welcoming the signing of the second Peace Accord by the candidates of parties competing in the upcoming presidential election, the diplomatic missions said they are fully committed to supporting all efforts that will ensure the Nigerian people decide who wins the election.
They said it is vital for Nigeria’s stability and democratic consolidation that the process is conducted and concluded safely, fairly, and credibly.

I DO NOT BELEIVE NEITHER COULD I POSSIBLY TAKE IT THAT Joe Nothing ATTEMPTS TO ASSERT CREDIBLE POLLS IN Nigeria.
How about the elections that ushered him into power in the US, currently. The international conspiracy with wanton election fraud perpetrated to rig him into power in the US. The elections in the US have never been this questionable with fraudulent acts in the history of electioneering in the annals of US politics and democracy.
US AND THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT OF Joe Biden WITH THIS Blinker CANNOT AND DOES NOT HAVE THE MORAL LATITUDE TO TELL AND OR TEACH ANYBODY ON PLANET EARTH ABOUT DEMOCRACY.
Blinken should be made to tell us about the election they rigged to get into power in the US. Including, the whole wide world can witness how badly they have ruined the socioeconomic and political dispensation of America.
THEREFORE, Blinken HOULD GO MIND AND MEND THE IMAGE WITH AURA OF ILLEGITIMACY THEY WALLOW IN, CURRENTLY.
America as it is currently, is in no position with any moral pedestal to teach us democracy.
