.atiku has secured commitment from US on sanctions for election riggers, says Omokri | TheCable
Ayodele OluwafemiReno Omokri, a former presidential aide, says Atiku Abubakar has secured the commitment of the United States on issues concerning the 2023 electionsthat Abubakar, PDP presidential candidate, travelled to the US for meetings tied to his presidential campaign.
Speaking on the essence of the US meetings, Omokri said Atiku has secured the commitment of the US government about ensuring free and fair elections in Nigeria in 2023.“We didn’t go there for guidance at all. However, we did have an agenda and one of the agendas was that we should have free and fair elections, because you know that if you look at the history and the best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, elections in Nigeria, sometimes, have not been up to par,” he said.
“Sometimes, we have challenges as we saw with the 2019 elections. One of the desires that we had was for the United States to ensure and give every support to INEC and security services to help them be ready for the elections; to also make a commitment right now that they will take actions against anybody promoting violence or anything that could affect free and fair elections, and they did make that commitment.
“Like I told you, the commitments where they said President Biden was going to use peer pressure with President Muhammadu Buhari. It didn’t just come like that; it was after they finished briefing us.“They said they are going to have political peer pressure from President Biden directly to President Muhammadu Buhari, and also, we are going to have a third audit of the election results. So, those were the commitments that we secured.
