The United States (US), on Thursday, urged aggrieved parties and candidates in the last Saturday’s presidential election in Nigeria to use all legal means to correct the anomalies observed during the exercise.

Ned Price, Spokesperson for the State Department, who congratulated Nigerians and the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, in a statement, said Nigerians were clearly within their rights to have such concerns and should have high expectations for their electoral processes in the just-concluded Presidential poll.

 

“There are well-established mechanisms in place for the adjudication of electoral disputes, and we encourage any candidate or party seeking to challenge the outcome to pursue redress through those mechanisms.

“We call on all parties, candidates, and supporters to refrain from violence or inflammatory rhetoric at this critical time,’’ the spokesperson said.

 

The US also called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address technical hitches surrounding the use of Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) before the forthcoming governorship and State Assembly elections on March 11.

 

“We join other international observers in urging INEC to improve in the areas that need the most attention ahead of the March 11 elections.

 

“We understand that many Nigerians and some of the parties have expressed frustration about the manner in which the process was conducted.

 

“They have also expressed frustration about the shortcomings of technical elements that were used for the first time in a presidential election cycle,’’ he said.

 

He expressed concern about reports that numerous members of the media were attacked during the course of the election.

 

“We urge the government, security forces, political actors, and all citizens to respect the media’s critical role by refraining from any damaging acts against them and ensuring accountability for such acts when they do occur.

 

“We also congratulate the Nigerian people, especially the large number of youths who are relatively new to the political process, for demonstrating their strong commitment to democracy,’’ he added.

 

According to Price, the United States congratulates the people of Nigeria, President-elect Tinubu, and all political leaders following the declaration by INEC on the results of the February 25 presidential election.

 

He said that the competitive election represented a new period for Nigerian politics and democracy.

 

“Each of the top three candidates was the leading vote-getter in 12 states, a remarkable first in Nigeria’s modern political era, reflecting the diversity of views that characterized the campaign and the wishes of Nigeria’s voters,” he stated.

 

The INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Wednesday announced that Tinubu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), won the election with the majority of votes cast across Nigeria.

 

The APC candidate polled 8,794,726 votes to defeat his closest rivals Atiku Abubakar of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 6,984,520 votes and Labour Party’s Peter Obi who polled 6,101,533 votes to come third and candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, who polled 1,496,687 votes in the  fourth place.
