2019 Election: US Congressman advises Buhari to live up to GEJ's legacy of peaceful t - Edoman - 02-21-2019 2019 Election: US Congressman advises Buhari to live up to GEJ's legacy of peaceful transition As reactions continue to trail the postponement of the 2019 general elections, a US congressman has written a letter to president Buhari asking him to emulate the peaceful transition process of the Jonathan administration. Chris Smith, a ranking Republican in the House sub-committee on Africa laid the blame for the postponement squarely on president Buhari's shoulders. He said this in a letter to President Buhari titled, ‘On the Postponement of Elections in Nigeria,’ The letter reads: Quote:“Responsibility for the delay of Nigeria’s presidential election lays squarely with President Muhammadu Buhari and those close to him. Actions in advance of the election — including removal of Supreme Court Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen and arson attacks on Independent National Electoral Commission offices in opposition strongholds — are undermining confidence that this election and subsequent gubernatorial elections will be free and fair. At a minimum, the presidential election must meet the 2015 standard, which saw a peaceful transfer of power and a statement by the then-sitting president that all bloodshed must be avoided.” by Linda |
