BREAKING: “Don’t prematurely pronounce a winner” – Another US lawmaker warns UK, others on Nigeria’s Elections

Ilhan Omar, the US representative for Minnesota’s 5th congressional district, on Saturday asked the international community to wait until the electoral challenges in Nigeria are resolved, “before prematurely pronouncing a winner”.

Omar, who said this in a statement sent to POLITICS NIGERIA, bemoaned the irregularities that marred the just-concluded presidential election in Nigeria. The poll produced Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as president-elect, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
