UK govt speaks about who becomes Nigeria’s president

The United Kingdom (UK) government has announced that the British government would work with any candidates who emerge as Nigeria’s president in the forthcoming presidential election.

Catriona Liang, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria says the United Kingdom government has no interest in who will become the next president of Nigeria.

She disclosed this on Wednesday during a meeting held with the National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abuja.

Mrs Liang said the UK would work with any candidates who emerge from the election.

The High Commissioner also expressed confidence in Nigeria’s democracy and the president’s commitment to organising free and secure elections.

She said: “The UK doesn’t have a preferred candidate. We are committed to free and fair elections, but we will work with whoever the presidential candidate emerges from the election.

“The UK and Nigeria have a very strong partnership, and we want Nigeria to succeed. And democracy is part of it”.

She further added that her country’s government welcomes Nigeria’s commitment to democracy and as well president Buhari’s commitment to free and secure elections.
