The All Progressives Congress,
APC, has told the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States to
solve numerous challenges facing them and leave Nigeria to handle her own
internal matters.
This was coming from the Deputy
National Publicity Secretary of the ruling party, Yekini Nabena who addressed
reporters in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, the Western
nations should focus on the breakdown of the Brexit deal between the United
Kingdom and European Union; the alleged Russia interference in the last
presidential election in the US; and many other serious challenges they face.
Nabena said, “In all elections
conducted in the country, we have always welcomed local and foreign monitors
and observers. In our view, this is a best practice and geared to ensure the
transparency of our elections.
“But comments on our election
processes coming from some western diplomats and accredited foreign observer
missions have been downright meddlesome and tantamount to interference.
“Nigeria is a sovereign nation
and such actions by these western countries negate the principles of
international law which outlaws interference in the domestic affairs of a
sovereign nation by another country.
“While the electioneering process
might not be perfect as seen with the last-minute postponement of the General
Elections, we must all work together to make it better.
“Statements and actions by these
western diplomats and accredited foreign observer missions that erode
confidence in the elections are inexcusable and strongly condemned.
“As a country, we will always
find local solutions to our local challenges whenever they arise.
“The US, UK and EU have enough
already on their hands. Their time and energy should be spent on the probe of
alleged Russian interference in the immediate-past US elections, the breakdown
of the Brexit deal between the UK and EU and many other serious challenges they
face.”
