The Federal Government of Nigeria has cautioned representatives of foreign countries and organisations resident in the country against interfering in Nigeria’s internal affairs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs gave the warning in a statement. The Nigeria government expressed deep concern on statements made by the U.S Embassy, UK High Commission and European Union Election Observer Mission, regarding the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.
According to the ministry, the action demonstrated serious and unacceptable interference in the internal affairs of Nigeria.
It said t he various statements appear prejudicial and signify alignment with the opposition and endorsement of its position that the ruling party and by extension the Federal Government of Nigeria, is working on rigging the forthcoming elections in Nigeria.
