US urges to hold election free of ‘intimidation’

The United States has called on all sides in Nigeria including the military to ensure that next week’s election is “free from outside pressure and intimidation.”

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Washington said that February 16 vote offered “an opportunity for Nigeria to solidify its place as a democratic leader in Africa.”

Fraud accusations and violence have marred elections since civilian rule was restored in 1999 in Africa’s most populous country.
