The United States of America on Wednesday said the election of
President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 was the expression of the will of
Nigerians and not manipulation by any other force.
The US
Government said this in response to allegations by former President, Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan, that his defeat in the 2015 election was partly
caused by former US President, Barack Obama, and his officials.
Jonathan
equally alleged in a book, “Against the Run of Play,” written by the
Chairman, Editorial Board of ThisDay, Olusegun Adeniyi, that the US
worked with France and the United Kingdom to frustrate his failed
re-election bid in 2015.
“The US advocated a free, fair and
transparent election. The election outcome was an expression of the will
of the Nigerian people,” the US embassy spokesman, Russel Brooks, said
on Wednesday
