The United Kingdom government has said that it has no interest in who will become the next president of Nigeria during upcoming general elections.
This was disclosed by Catriona Liang, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, on Wednesday following a meeting that took hold at a closed door, with the National Working Committee, NWC, of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Abuja.
She said that the UK would work with any candidates who emerge from the election.
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”.
